The chrome connected scripts used on American cars and trucks from the 1940s to 1960s were custom lettering not based on a specific font.
However various digital fonts have been inspired by this type of lettering.
Several of them are fairly similar to _Custom Cab_
This one is good for the lower case.

Re: Bitsteam. I have checked many of the digital outlines of their fonts against the Monotype/Linotype/Adobe version and found that they are significantly different, and sometimes better engineered. So I don't consider the Bitstream fonts to be clones.

I forgot to note that Intellectual Property protection of the look of a font has existed since the mid 19th century -- at least in the US -- where the maker obtains a design patent which protects the design for a limited number of years. Design patents for fonts are now very rare.

Hi koeiekat.
On the clone issue I was not referring to making a digital version of a typeface image. Under, US law -- the famous Summer Stone case and his spade shaped terminal on the _r_ -- all that is protected are the digital outlines, which are covered by software protection. BTW I am neither an IP lawyer nor an American, so anyone wanting guidance on this point should dig up a qualified lawyer. Also, the legal protections in some other jurisdictions are much more rigorous than in the US.
The complaints about OPTI clones concern fonts where their fonts used the digital outlines of those produced by other creators of digital fonts.

Hi koeiekat.
The main point with OPTI is that there is no current legal distributor of their fonts. The intellectual property rights still exist and presumably belong to the estate of the Castcraft business. I have not seen a statement from Castcraft placing the fonts in the public domain. AFAIK nobody has tracked down the current ownership of Csstcraft/OPTI intellectual property. Using OPTI fonts without permission is inappropriate.

The font seems to have been originally called Epic Shaded,which was designed by Allen Haley. According to a quote in the article referenced below, “Setting Epic Shaded requires manual dexterity, a fit and supple body and the reactions of a ferret after a rabbit.” I have no idea whether this refers to using dry transfer sheets, self adhesive film or something else.

This an OPTI font called Cinema solid, using the optional E.
Most OPTI fonts were pirated clones of digital fonts made by other fontmakers. As far as I can tell Cinema Solid was an original digital creation by OPTI.
Unfortunately OPTI fonts are now orphans and there is no legitimate way to acquire them. So I am not posting a link to it.
