If you're talking about the logo, chances are it was created by hand to make it distinctive enough to ensure trademark protection. Most good logos are rarely just an 'off-the-shelf' font.

Alot of times in cases like this, its easier to scan and trace. Let me know what logo it is and I can reproduce it for you.

I've often thought it would be nice to find the font used on the guages in my GMC. That would allow me to print new guage faces with the ranges and labels I'd prefer, but still look right for the time.

Anyone have any idea if its a published font?

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble...
