And Hood Ornament font is pretty close for the cast aluminum covers:
As someone who is trained in old school typography, those fonts are miles apart IMO. I suppose to the casual viewer maybe they would work or be a start for a designer to modify but they are pretty far off.

For what purpose will the font be used? Do you need the entire alphabet or just a few letters? When I was looking to make a radio delete plate for my '59 I traced the lettering in CAD. In the picture below the gray lettering is a photo of an original radio delete plate, and the red lettering is my copy.

I am nostalgic, and always liked the old valve covers. I am trying to create a decal that would mimic that look to maybe add to the fuel rail covers on my '13 similar to these.
What CAD software did you use.

They're not identical to the original fonts used by GM in the two different locations I showed . But, they're certainly not miles apart. For not on an original car, such as a C5 LS fuel rail cover they're pretty close

I am using AutoCad. What type of file do you need to make the decal? If you are wanting to duplicate the "Corvette" script on the valve covers, I can probably make you a file that you can use.

Yes. If you would like a copy, send me an email through the forum and let me know what size you want. I would need the total length of the word "Corvette".
