Old 40's speedometer

[AKSigns]

Any guess on a good look alike font for this? Im re-creating the artwork for a custom bike shop.

Thanks

Yep Garner for sure! That's a great one! Its not exact but only I will know!!

Gerber has one called TRANSPORT that might work as well.

Helvetica was created in 1957

I love that font....use it a lot. Great for retro themes or projects. Really easy mod to fix the slight diffs if you wanted to. I've done a number of custom gauge overlays too....made one that almost copied a 69 Camaro except for a custom AutoMeter electronic speedo....fun diversional jobs

Blue Highway might work.

I do not know if there is a font but my dad lettered that style and he called it " Plain Egyptian"
