I would like to find someone who may have a reproduction set of the Fleetwood fender and crowns.

OPGI has officially discontinued them.
McVeys does not sell them.
Caddy Daddy lists a used set of the crests.

If anyone knows of a possible source please let me know.

For the first time I see these being sold at Summit Racing.  I have searched for these many times before. So this is a new listing from Summit racing.  But they still show as not in stock. delivery by February 21.

I fear that they are carrying over this listing from Rare Parts without knowing they are discontinued. But this is a new listing a couple of months after OPGI listed them as discontinued. Maybe they have access to some.

I am going to order them at the first of the year. And let summit reach out to me to tell me they are not available.

Well I ordered from Summit on January 6th. They say it is expected mid March.

But since they admit they are reselling from OPGI who has them listed as discontinued I do not have high hopes.

Caddy Daddy has recently listed reproduction crowns. But they do not have the crests. They only have one used one for $250. It has broken back tabs.

I am happy with these crowns. But I may need to glue them in place. Ones back tabs are bent badly.

The bent is not dramatic. With a plier, you can get it straight again.

Maybe. But it is cast. Normally brittle.
