The type font is reasonably close but not the same so it should satisfy those who want a nice look but also the "purists" who object to perfect forgeries.

The font is as close as I could find to the original "so called" ribbon or chain printer font. The main thing thats never correct is the sheet itself. The Jim Osborn repro for the 68-72 is horrible. The rockets on each side are distorted and out of color. I fixed all that and made the changes that Olds did for each year. Not trying to make a blantant fake obviously. If I was Id tape each one to a car, rip it off, then age it so it looks like its been though hell.

I agree and no criticism intended. About 30 years ago I did get several Selectric elements and used a silk ribbon with an 8 line to the inch ratchet so I could exactly duplicate the chain train printer type font. It is laborious having to change elements for different letters, and one mistake means starting over again. I did it just for fun, not forgery.
