Hi, A pair of brand new, in the box, NOS, front fender 421 emblems for a 2+2 just sold on ebay for $404.00! The reserve was $200.00! I bowed out at $226.00. My originals are a little pitted and the repro's I bought a while back on ebay are definitely SMALLER than the originals. Even the posts were scrawny. Anyone know where to get ACCURATE sized emblems? Peter

Look on ebay stores for Firestone Collectibles, they sell the good ones.

No, they are not the same. The ones from Firestone are much nicer.

Hi, The 421 numbers were obviously smaller on the repro than the original. I e-mailed Firestone to ask them about their emblem size in comparison to the original's.
