Just got myself a 1966 Dynamic and have have found that typing in "1966 Oldsmobile" in EBay shows you a lot of stuff that may work.

Not cheap but think this is what you are looking for...lots of emblems also

1966 taillight bezels are common to Jetstar, Dynamic and Delta 88. Starfire are different. The lenses and pods are the same for all 1966 B-body. The bezels are impossible to replate and parts vendors know this, is why NOS and even western chrome pieces can get expensive.

Grill emblems can be different between series too, so make sure it comes off the same series car you're looking parts for.

I read an article in Street Rodder about manufacturing your own replacement lenses with plastic resin and molds. I still have the magazine at home, I will have to check it out. From what I can remember it is much cheaper than buying reproductions or OEM parts. It seemed like someone with basic mechanical skill could do it easily.

I so happen to have an extra emblem kickin around here, got tail light bezels too but they have some pitting tho, not sure how they'd compare to what your bezels are like.
