The International Cessna^® 170 Association

I was watching an old Sky King show the other day. Clipper (I believe was his name) had a 170 that Sky was using to pick up diamonds from a miner by use of an improvised grapple hook and a rope. He told Penny that the Songbird was too fast and Clipper's plane was slow and just what he needed. Anyhow, Clipper's 170 had hubcaps with "170" painted on them. My wife gave me a set of new plastic hubcaps from Sporty's for an anniversary present, and I'd like to paint them, then letter them with "170".

Does anyone have an idea of what modern computer font would approximate the art-deco style numbering on the 170's hubcaps?

Many thanks,

Open up your Microsoft WORD program, create a large typeset, and then try different FONT styles to see which one you like.

Hey George,

Many thanks.

John

try looking at placard catalogs, like this one - if you decide not to just copy it they also sell the stuff

but like George says, I bet you can find a font you like the look of
