Vintage Shelby American, Inc. Logo Font

[pherring]

I'm looking for the font that Shelby American, Inc. used for their company logo from the 60s. It's the same font that was also used on the door sill emblems for GT350s and GT500s. I've attached an example. Any ideas?

Any help would be appreciated!

The font name can be found in Colin Comer's book on Shelby Mustangs - I have the book, but not with me at the moment.

If nobody else has the answer by later tonight, I'll look it up for you.

Sorry - wrong book... it's listed in the SAAC book on the Shelby Mustangs.

The font name is "microgramma".

Thanks for checking on that, but Microgramma is the font used on the Cobra emblems and for the "Cobra powered by Ford" logos, not for Shelby American's old company logo.

That's the correct font for the outside rocker ID stripes and rear name plates on the G.T. 350, but if you're looking for something else, I'd suggest either calling the Shelby American Collection in Boulder, CO or Colin Comer in Milwaukee, WI.

A year and a half later, I finally stumbled across the answer. The font is "Compressa" - Compressed Regular.
