50's style font?

So, I am doing a set of doors on a 53' Chevy Rat Rod.

They guy wants to do a design on the doors indicating that it's a "runner" car, I've got it all layed out but the only thing i'm stumped on is a font choice.

I've searched on the font sites and can't find anything appealing.

Anyone have any ideas on a font that was popular in the 40's to 50's that would look "period".

I would have to look it up but I have a font that is close to the script that chevy used on the 55-57 chevy classic.

Ill try to find it

this is the tropez font,

Impressive, Obyone has taught you well. ( name probably spelled wrong )

You were suposed to be the chosen one!

Sorry I stepped out of the gate, tripped and promptly bloodied my pug.

If that doesnt work for you, try www.abstractfonts.com - That's where I get my fonts from, and it's free!

almost brought a tear to my eyes

yeah, I have that one. thanks a bunch for your time though.

I don't think that one will fit what I'm trying to do here.

I use abstract fonts, but really am lost on what to use for search words in this situation.

Anyone else have any ideas?

What do you guys think about this one?

It's a @#$% to weed.

sorry 'bout the size of that one....
