Jeff can you post pictures of the stainless steel/ chrome refill holder versus the satin/dull refill holders used during the 1966 time period?

Don't think I've got picture of that - will check or will dig some out of storage and see if I have examples of both

Here are some pictures of the shiny 65 style. The later in 66 production style is duller and the shape of the wiper is contoured different compared to the squared off 65 style.

Thanks for posting Bob I had no idea the '65 wiper was squared off like that.

The 1965 style posted here did carry over into 1966. I've seen them on Mustangs as late as December 1965.

You are correct that it is a early / late thing in 66 production.
