Can not find this font. I find a few that are close, but not exact. Need to make this logo plus other logos with the same font..

The lettering for YENKO was designed before digital type came about and is most likely not even a Typeface per see.
I show no exact matches in either digital or other forms.
With that said, "LHF Becker 45" is the closest match but would still require some editing.

I felt hat Bookman Old Style Bold was close is some ways, David from Identifont says :
These are the closest I can find: Liberteen Bold http://www.identifont.com/show?487P
Farao Black http://www.identifont.com/show?55Q
But our conclusion is that NO FONT seems to have that 4-serifed "N" or the uneven serifs in the E and Y.
Therefore it was hand drawn.
What I would do is use the closed one, and Turn the type into CURVES. then you can redo the outline of each letter to be pretty exact .
I've done that in Coreldraw a number of times. Just place the scan below it on a locked layer.

I can hand trace that image but don't know how I will make the rest of the alphabet for other lettering I need to make for the customer.
What gets me is this is not the original font used for the original YENKO/SC by Yenko Chevrolet in Pennsylvania. The font is totally different

I have found that many companies over time have used diff fonts in their print because they really didn't give a crap. They tell us that is their logo and we try to duplicate it because we assume it is important. Also, if the logo is very old, the original makers just wanted something similar back when... but now they are gone and some new person takes over and wants to do it like it was written in stone and doesn't realize that the people before him didn't really give a crap!
