Which Monte Carlo font are you looking for? The script or the block lettering?

From what i understand, the Monte Script was designed just for the Monte. There really is no other letters associated with it. What someone did was 'IMAGINE" what it would look like, but after i saw it, i wasn't really impressed.

The only thing that have is i the Chevy script. And even that is not the real one. Just really close.

The closest widely available font I found is called "Mistral". It's one of the standard fonts on Windows Vista I believe. I downloaded it from 1001freefonts.com

I was trying to find the exact font also. I gave up when I found out that it was designed specifically for GM, and is copyrighted. Someone with experience creating fonts could try to clone it. But since not all the letters of the alphabet were used, you'd have to guess at what certain letters would look like.

I created a couple different versions of a capital "F" when JJ and I were designing a forum sticker. One of them looked too much like the Ford "F". The other looked too much like the letter "P". JJ ended up using an "F" from a different font that was close.

If anyone does find the exact 6th gen Monte script, please let me know. I'd love to get it also.

1001freefonts.com does have some other GM fonts. Like Pontiac, Grand Prix, and Corvette.
