I think that the closest thing you might find is an obscure font Called TRAFTON REGULAR HEAVIER, I believe created by Dan Solo. It has some of the same characteristics yet is still so far off and much lighter in weight. I have heard that, according to Chris-Craft's marketing director, there is no established typeface or font, although they have given their blessing for anyone who would like to create an entire font based on the logo....still non are known of. We had a very large project about 2 years ago that use of that typeface/font was requested to be used. An alternate was eventually decided on and approved.
