Anyone know of a source for repro or NOS front fender badges/emblems other than Caddy Daddy? Thanks.

Model specific. Here are the 61 Fleetwood fender badges I have been collecting. I have two more damaged ones coming. Maxwell Enamels told me $300-500 each for restoration.

Wow, they make you Fleetwood guys dig deep.  I'm looking for the "Cadillac" badge for coupes, etc.  Mine is shot, and repros are $127 at Caddy Daddy. After your post I'm thinking that might not be so crazy.

Remember that there would be a very limited market for these rare parts.   No Commercial operation is going to make parts where there is virtually no profit from small sales.

I paid $100 each for two of those used ones. Caddy Daddy has 1 used Fleetwood badge they want $250 for. CPR has one NOS one that they refuse to sell.

How about McVeys?

Rather than the Fleetwood badge, are you looking for the de Ville script, or the fender badge for a series 62?

Fender badge for Series 62.  I broke down and ordered the repro from Caddy Daddy, but it isn't a great match. Instead of the brushed aluminum look surrounding the lettering, it's finished in chrome (see pic).  Is there anyone who restores the originals?
