I am looking for a true type font that is similar to those wonderful hand painted racing numbers of the 60's

I know one in every ten people is a font geek so I figured I would put the hive mind to this task and see what comes up. ![](/media/img/icons/smilies/wink-18.png)

Bodoni is pretty close to the top picture.
They are a bit narrow so (in Word) type what you want, highlight it then control+d/Advanced/scale set to 150%

That appears to be a stylized "Urge Text Black Condensed" font.

The image processor is having trouble with this one and I can't find an exact match.
Edit: "Monthly Calendar JNL Regular" I had to use a different picture but it's basically exact.
Here's the tool if you want to try.

In reply to Jumper K. Balls:
Ah so it is. I kinda just did the quick and dirty from a tool I used before. I like that a lot.
I'm not really a font geek but I had a design course in lieu of a website design course in college 10 years ago. We watched a documentary called "Helvetica" where the process of creating a font was documented. It left quite the impression.
Thanks for the help everyone. I have some playing to do.
