Old style door writing for a business

Does anyone have any pictures of original type lettering for a business on their truck? I have a business, bought a 55.1 4400 series and am going to paint it and want an old school lettering. It will say "American". Business name Is American Landscapes! Thanks so much.

I have posted 163 photos, mostly of old truck signs.

Well, seems Pinterest is membership driven.

You can see what I ended up doing on my panel. A very simple design.
I bought a used plotter/cutter, simple vinyl cutter software, samples of vinyl, and did it myself.

You shouldn't have a big problem finding a sign painter who can do that style of work in your area. Watch for hand painted signs on shops around the area that are painted in the style you are looking for and find out who painted them.
