Fantastic post, Sabu ! I think that Tahiti sign is one of my all time favorites. Growing up, we used to pass the Tahiti Motel on the way to the Wildwood boardwalk, during the summertime. I was recently looking for more info on the old Wildwood hotels and restaurants, and came across a more recent photo of the Tahiti. It shows some updates to that sign, here's the link to the website: http://www.ronsaari.com/stockImages/motels/TahitiMotel.php That tiki mask on the Coral Reef matchbook was also used by Mishima's, for their tropical drink menu. And the Trade Winds Motel in Lake Tahoe, has a slight variation of that tiki mask on their sign, but no shields. I'll take some pics and post them soon. |
