Vintage radio / car dashboard font

rongilad

Hi all,
I'm looking for a font that would resemble the fonts used for the numbers on old radios or car dashboards, 40's-60's. They style I'm looking for is Condensed.
Here's an example:
Vintage radio

Thanks,
Ron

Most likely this is custom lettering. I think somebody here mentioned that this ultra-condensed style is called 'gaspipe', but that is about the extent of my knowledge.

Thanks Té, but I'm not looking for this specific typeface from the picture. I'm looking for suggestions for fonts of this style "gaspipe". Any suggestions?

Thank you all.

Linotype has Chasline which is similar but not identical to the dial.
