Making new dashes for an old Caravelle, should I keep the molds?

I'm currently working on an old Caravelle (I don't know the year or model). I'm piecing together the old broken dashes to use as a mold to make new ones. I'm wondering if it would be worth it to keep molds to make more, or if this will just be a one off. I have no idea if there is a big collector or restoration interest for old boats like there is for cars. If I get some people that think there might be a market for more of these, I'll talk to my boss about it. Regarding the rules about selling stuff here, this isn't an advertisement for a product. It's something I'm doing for work anyway, and I'm just wondering if this might be an opportunity.
Passenger side current progress.

Edit: Ok, pictures aren't showing up for me. 2 out of 3 show up as links in the post. All three are shown below as attachments, but not as images. Good job new guy.

Your pics are pretty large, this one was 7.8MB
I resized it using power point

If you could take the pics at a lower resolution it would help

So that's the issue? I just set my phone camera down to 12MP, but all of my previous pics were taken at 64MP. I don't think I can resize them to post. I'm not very tech savvy.

Thanks.
