Wish I could help.
I cannot remember where I buy my wider blades, which were in a vintage Bosch package.

I like the silver wiper.
I tried a silver arm and blade on my 71 for a while, in about 2017, later someone asked to buy the silver and I sold it. That silver blade was not a wide 356 blade.
I had seen silver on 70 and 71 cars.

My 71 is now back to black arm/blade, and it is 16 inches long, and gets more glass coverage. This blade is thin metal and thin rubber, it is the same ‘form’ as the front.
Your blade looks like it’s from a 356 era. (It looks like my 356, seen in photo) so, it has me thinking in 50 yrs, did someone change out the blade, which is super common, and are quite interchangeable.

Also, if you want it original, your 2.2 decal should be in orange, not red, and the real decal is 13mm shorter.
The reproductions are all wrong, orange is very hard to find, I have only seen 2 NOS in ten years. I made my decal, it is a waterside, I cut out the larger square, I had an orange one, it turned pink traveling in the Texas sun, so I removed it.

Your sepia car is very beautiful, all over.








From what I can see, these look like the wide and block-y rubber.
Take the rubber out and put in yours, see link.

Thanks Scott A - Yes, from some feedback it seems that black might be the color this was originally - but I have all records back to purchase in Virginia Beach when buyer traded in their Vette. Always been silver in any picture and done find a receipt for a change - I tried the 356 blade and its not the same - may need to give up and go black for arm and blade - I may need to get used to the look - honestly I dont like it at all on the car.

Thank you Cliff!

OK guys - think I figured this one out.

May 28, 1976 (6090 miles) this car was in Vienna, Virginia at Motorhaus for service - oil and a few other things. Rear wiper blade was bad and per the receipt - "no black in stock".

Maybe that's when the car went silver rear wiper - arm may of been painted to match?

Now - stay silver or back to black as it was born - black - but I do like the silver look - look for a thread in the general section some time this week documenting this cars history for you all. Thank for the help.

This is a photo of the 1970 accessories brochure. Shown in black.
I think you can go either way.

If you can make it work, I would keep the silver, it makes for nice conversation about the records you have.
I like the silver.

Sometimes I drive along for a year trying parts, and another year I try something different.

Found the original arm still out there - I might need to get used to it - I liked the silver better, but that's all I know. The blades @Scott A suggested are still on the way and may try to replace the rubber on the silver arm.
