Wiper blade source?
My 60 Ventura has overlapping wiper blades. Anyone have a good source for quality repacements? Thx in advance.

Ames has them listed in their catalog: https://secure.amesperf.com/qilan/Se..._sub_rowid=889
Correction...those are the non-overlapping type. |

If your wipers are merely worn out:
I got tired of the rising prices of wiper blades, so shopped on Amazon for refills. A couple of my old vehicles ('67 & '83) use "stint" style refills- a slotted metal piece slides over the rubber blade. It's necessary to get some measurements of the cross section of your blades, but there's a good chance of the correct ones being available. The refills are only around $5 a pair. The ones I bought are serving as well as any blades I ever bought.

I've cut down just the rubber insert in large new wipers to replace smaller old ones. Maybe you could find a newer blade and take just the rubber out for your blade.

I am not sure if these are what you need but O'Reillys shows them for a 60 Ventura.

RockAuto seems to offer a variety of overlapping and non-overlapping blades for 60 Venturas.

Probably a stupid question, but does anyone know what the correct wiper length for 60 overlapping wipers is supposed to be? The ones on the car now are 16 inch. Would 15 inch work?
