I’m looking for a font that looks like a chrome auto logo from the '50s. This is close, except I want it a little bolder, and with highlights to look like chrome. I know I’ve seen such a font, but can’t remember where.
You can use that font, and make it bold when you use it, and then use photoshop to add the requisite highlighting
closest I know is this one: http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/linotype/milano/ It’s not styled quite like the one you show, though.
Try “magneto”. Also there’s something called “uppen arms”.
If neither of those works, the logo for the Pixar movie “Cars” is in the font you want, so you can google around for that.
Assuming you want it free, you can do it yourself following this tutorial http://www.pinoy7.com/psptutorials/7/3dchrome/p1.shtml
There are some here that you might be able to use as starting points, Americana Dreams, SuperHighway and Airstream.
fonts don’t tend to come with metallic effects built in; you have to do that in a painting program.
