    Question on 1966 Corvette

    Can anyone help on the following: A 1966 corvette roadster: production date: 11-65 with serial number 5,496 is being restored. My question, were the original wiper blades and wiper arms satin or polish finish? And with this early production date was the air cleaner decal for HP rating 425hp or 450hp? I would appreciate any help you can give me......Thank You

    Eugene the last documented 450 that I'm aware of was produced in the first week of Nov. 65 (SER# 48XX), so to answer your question yes it's possible ??? with your relatively low S/N.

            Eugene,

            Your early 1966 may have come with Trico wiper blades that have a satin finish on the top surface and a shiny finish underneath. I collected hundreds of 15" wiper blades from 1960-1970 salvage yard cars back in the 1980's and found several variations of the 15" Trico blades. My 1966 (Feb. 1966) came with 15" satin finish Anco wiper blades (without the plastic release button). Refer my post on 6/16/2013 @ 6:16 PM in the link below.
