I found this from a buick ad from 78-85. It looks like Goudy Heavyface but modified.
Who designed it?

This came up once a few years ago. It's an old film font from Headliners International called neo-Somerset. Don't think it's ever been digitized. Joe Treacy (Treacyfaces) probably owns whatever rights there are on it (he acquired the Headliners library years ago and has digitized some of the fonts).
