Does anyone know what font this is?

I've seen it on a few cars from the early 1960s but it clearly isn't the usual Charles Wright one.

Heres a few suggestions, none are absolutely on the money, but if any are of interest I can e-mail you a copy over, just let me know.

Most likely it's not a "font" at all... 'just something the local sign-shop "cooked up" based on the sign-painters own style and liking.

Looking at the "chopped of" corners (upper right of 7 middle left of the 5 and bottom left og the 2) + the slanted base-line of the two - I'd say this is something you wont find anywhere else...

A good signshop should be able to reproduce it accuratlly for you, though.

"Agenda bold" is very close, just needs a corner or two chopping off and the 5 adjusting...
