 Thanks, Heron. I ended up doing a search for "50s diner fonts". Kind of the look the customer was after and found a freeware font called Automobile which is pretty close.

 I have two pictures of this, I may have to make two threads to give you a better chance to identify. This typeface is used in Butlins signage in the 1950s. Thanks in advance for your help

Howard Johnson's restaurants logo ... Honest John's. All lower case, italicized and somewhat condensed.

Those effects are usually created in a graphics program by outline + extrusion or duplicate as drop shadow.
However there are some retro-style "diner" fonts made to look like signage that have 3D effects. Little Deuce Coupe, Dancing Donuts, Drive-Thru and Lost Wages(neon look) come to mind.

Not that hard Adam. Fontdinerdotcom is the name. A freebee by Font Diner. Goto free silverware and get it.
Edit:
And you know what?? Fontdinerdotcom is right here at abstractfonts. Should have known that. Sorry Alex.

Oh, no, I do not hate IT. I am hating the job on which I have to use it, and the people involved. Nasty persons, I'm almost shivering.
I can see the differences between the two, even if the Promotor is shown very small. Roundish, more 50s-ish, so elegant. Feminine, perhaps, I'd say.
I do not know how it's finished into E&F catalogue. Maybe they boght it from Linotype and that's why Promotor isn't anymore available there? Can't understand, though, why they do not sell it as a single font. It just doesn't make sense. And I have to take on the duties and keepe that people away from me as quick as possible ;^)

Aha! I recognized "hundredfold" from the Bit Stream page, and finally found it at Font Diner .
Go to the Font Menu, and choose the TV Dinner section. It is called Rojo Frijoles.

Seems easy enough, yet tricky. The ones that pop to mind are BarbeDisplaySSK, Big City, Black Tie Display SSi, Broad Avenue, Broadway (as you mentioned) and Ritz FLF.
As usual, no guarantee that the list is complete.
For 1950's American Diner Broadway should do but Big City or Broad Avenue are probably the one used (just a bit thicker. The nicest one, I think, is the original Ritz FLF. The text PALOOKAVIIE is a different story. Looks like the others but is not. K and E flipped would help but the P doesn't come close at all.
I'll see what I can find ...
