First let me say thank you for the help. I looked at the American Arrow website, and yes they do look great and to be very high quality. Off-topic from the Buick hood ornament, the quail for the 28-29 Ford model A looked absolutly fantastic, really great detail. My brothers Buick is an original, unrestored car, less than 12,000 original miles. I believe that it was a past AACA winner, but I will have to ask him when, (70's i believe). In the end I am sure he will want to get the original repaired, but in the short-term I think that the reproduction is the way to go (for now). If anybody else has anyone they would reccomend for this type of repair please let me know, any and all help is appreciated.
