Much of the lettering used by the auto industry back then was custom designed, not a font. I suspect that was the case here. If you just wanted to reproduce it with something similar, you could use Eurostile Bold Ext.

Ack! Yes, of course. One of those "most hated" fonts I tend to delete from memory. Thanks!

I feel like I've seen this [terrible] font a thousand times before, but FMF isn't giving me the correct result. Not sure why customers insist on taking pictures from an angle! I tried to straighten it a bit in PS.

Monotype Corsiva, stretched out.

^^^ That did it!!! Thank you thank you thank you!

^^^ Correct. I think I might have "maximized" the Open/Import screen the other day, and I can't get it to reduce in size now. I haven't touched resolution settings lately.

^^^ To be clear, I can select a file to Open or Import, but I can't reduce the size of the Open/Import window. I can get the resize arrow to appear when placed at the edge/corner of the window, but nothing happens when I try to drag it smaller.

Thanks. I tried Ctrl+Shift+F4 to no avail.

Thanks for the instructions! I tried that just now but it didn't solve the problem.

Hmmm, that makes me worried that some settings that I've made over the years would be erased. If a reboot won't fix it, I guess I'll have to try that, thanks.

Not sure what you mean. I did close and re-open it, but no change. It may may fix itself after a re-boot.

CorelDraw X7 When I attempt to Open or Import a file, that Open/Import window is (almost) maximized, and no matter how much I try to grab an edge or corner to reduce the size, it won't budge. How to fix?

Was there ever a vinyl made that simulates "variegated" gold leaf?

^^^ That is understandable given the manually added spurs, but the "S" surely should have worked in any font ID software.

It's funny, I have that Ravenscroft font, yet FindMyFont didn't offer that as a possibility with the "S", when it clearly should have.

Yes, that appears to be it!

I thought that was going to be an easy one, but I've tried everything and got nothing. What was the source of the image, and how old?

Erm, I gave it two full days.

OK, so here's the reveal: This was a hand-lettered typeface created & used by “Ford DeHaven”, who started Gulf State Signs in 1952 in Winter Haven Florida, and still in business today! He passed away in September 2016 at the age of 88.
