Here's a good question about Oval parts............
Why are OG Oval Window Windshield Wiper Blades so expensive????
Seems I cannot find a source for them that's within a reasonable price, (like $40 to $60 a set) they all are in the $100 + area. (maybe I'm looking in the wrong places for them?)
I'm not a cheapskate/or lowballer when it comes to paying out for really nice N.O.S./Deadstock or rare parts, but the wiper blades seem to be stupid money!

I just recently bought a set for my '56 and they were $ 25.00 for the set from my local VW supplier. I kind of thought that was a little high, but like supporting my local owned machine shop/parts house.

I'm not sure why they're so expensive. I have a couple of sets and I think the $60 range is about right, but even when I tell people that price they still look at me like I'm crazy. |

What's funny is for 85.00$ you can have expediated shipping for a bumper that you can buy for 40 bucks all day long!

It might be worth 60.00 if it's a really clean blade. |

| It's the same name but are you sure it's them? They're in Iowa right? All these items are listed are in NJ. |

For the last time, there is no such thing as a "Rare 1957 square window ragtop"
http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=1319968
| Quote: | | 1957 built late in 57 and used the 58 shell |
If it was built after Aug 1 1957, it's a freaking 1958 Model year car.
If it's using a '58 shell, it's a 1958!
