Not sure that it was an official font. I was messing around with something in Photoshop a few months back and needed the Vette font. Did a Google on "Corvette Font" and found several freeware fonts. If the embroidery is being setup with a computer that might be all you need.

It may be a copyrighted font, which means you may not find it. I ran into a similar problem trying to copy the Chase Bank logo. (for legitimate reasons )

Thanks for the link djunod, but it still doenst have the exact font I need. Some were pretty close, but the 2 t's all have the curve at the bottom, whereas on the old logo's they were straight. I might be getting a little to **** about this. But I wanted it to match my floor mats. I may just have to go with a newer corvette font. Oh and does anyone know where I can get a pic of our crossed flags?

Thanks

It is probably the best you can expect for free.

Write the word using a paint package and edit it to look the way you want. Usually pretty simple.

If you can get a good digital photo of the corvette logo, there are some freeware software packages out there that can convert individual letters to letters in a custom font you can use in Excel or Word. Don't know if that helps you much....
