I've seen it around on a couple of cars and really like it. Thanks in advance.

According to What the Font it is probably Clarendon Condensed.

Wow, I appreciate the very prompt response. I tried the tool and did not have much luck myself. However, I don't think it is Clarendon Condensed. I say this because the capitol 'R' is totally different. Perhaps some other experts might have some better luck? I love this font and hope to use it in the near future.

Re: Help ID license plate frame font please!
I tried Identifont and ended up with names which seem right in a regular weight, but I can't find an extra bold, or heavy weight condensed to confirm.
Here are the first 6 names:
ITC Bookman
ITC Bookman (EF)
Monotype Century Old Style
Century Oldstyle
Lido STF Condensed
FF Acanthus Text
I think some one stole all my condensed extrabolds.

Hi Dick,
I think you hit the nail on the head. I'm pretty sure it's ITC Bookman or ITC Bookman (EF). Would you happen to know the difference between the two?
Thanks a lot for such a tremendous effort.

I didn't see any difference after rather quick look at a-Z. There appear to be variations in some of the specials +, %, @, ©, ®, µ.
Might only be licensing difference.
