George I will think about it. I might just sell my pair even though one of them has a very slight crack.

Thanks

I think that Paragon is the company that bought the GM molds, so most, if not all reproduction covers are made by them and are sold through all major vendors.

The molds had cracked during the '66 production run, which resulted in the "casting flaw" through the "O" in the Corvette script.

I believe that Paragon has developed a method of "removing" the casting flaw, but it is also my understanding that the finish on these covers is different from the originals and is detectable by NCRS judges.


Mine are the original pieces that were cast before the "flaw" occurred in mid '66.

Others may have more/better information on the reproduction vrs. original covers.

Thanks for the question,
G
