Default Font style?

Does anyone know what "font" the "Corvette" lettering on the dash and rear bumper are?

It's not a font, it was designed by a graphics person.

I don't know that it's precisely what you're looking for but there is a font actually entitled "Corvette." Do a search for Corvette fonts and it should turn up. Another somewhat close font is entitled Neuropol.

The "corvette" font is C5 so the letters are not connected as they are on the C6.

That's correct. The logo as it exists is just a drawing. I guess it could almost be considered a font since it is it's own type style but the only letters currently available would be C-O-R-V-E-T-T-E. Either way, it isn't currently available for addition to a word processing or graphics program so that it can be used in any other context. Several have tried to simulate it but I haven't found any that really are close enough to use. The prior Corvette font that is available in various places around the forum and the web was based on the C5 script so it is not a match to the C6 logo.

The closest I've found is a font called Venus Rising in italic form (can't find a sample in italic). Not perfect but it may be close enough for what you want. Its a free download so give it a try. (I use it in my Corvette Club newsletter... )
