Default C4 Corvette font question

Does anyone know what the actual "font" is called on the letters?

I often wondered if this were a font or just an artist drawing.

You probably won't find an exact match.
Keep in mind the C4 logo and lettering were designed before personal computers.

So, it was probably some one off custom designed typeset like used in printing presses.

You can upload any image to

http://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/

And it will check against known Fonts.

21 matches for yours, but none look exact

Maybe try again with just an image of the R and V?
