I found a couple that were similar in many ways (Josephine, Frank Gorshin) but not close enough.

This is a motel from Doo-wop era, not that it helped me when searching for a font match.

any help greatly appreciated!

Try Airmole (by Ray Larabie)

zang, that is basically it, near perfect. O is different but I imagine that's more about the neon and some stylistic license.

thank you!!!

Glad I could help.
