Does anyone know what type of font is used in the "Chevrolet", trim piece above the speaker grill. The closest I can come up with is Broadway font?
Thanks,
skipper

There may be some stock fonts with a faint resemblance (like Broadway which isn't even close) but nothing closer.
Auto manufacturers spend lots of money on graphics and seldom, or never, use existing fonts for their corporate identity.

If all you want is to duplicate the word CHEVROLET take the part to a sign shop and they can scan and reproduce it then cut you some vinyl letters in any size. BTW, I'm retired after 35 years in graphics where re-creating old fonts with Fontographer was my speciality. Recently I made a set of rub-down transfers to restore my instrument cluster and had to re-create the font to do so.

If I wasn't up to my ears in my truck I'd get serious about this and expand the line. There are some variations between years and GMC/Chevy.

Do any of you have a high resolution "Chevrolet" graphic file that I can use to create vinyl letters for my '54 dash? I'd like to see if a sign shop can make them.
Thanks,
