What is the Font Name for the non-script Block Letter 1941 Ford Emblems please?

This lettering was used on the dash emblems on a few different models including the 1941 Super Deluxe vehicles. I have attached a photo showing this for reference.

Thank you

It has an Art Deco look. Here's where you can search all types of fonts.

Looks like 'Herald Square' Font to me...

I agree that this looks like an Art Deco font; that was what I searched for first to no avail. I even tried using Identifont to no avail.

That was a good try. However, the x-height on the letter "F" is different and the letter "O" is quite a bit different as well.

Thanks for the input though.

It might be Henry Ford's own design.

Henry Ford would have had artists and a styling department. They would have designed the letters. They wouldn't have picked it from a font library. I would imagine that is a modern thing.

That's my best guess, anyway.
