Some great fonts to compliment tiki display fonts.
These are some of the OTHER fonts from the 50's. The plain-jane cousins that you still need to have around to make your menus/matchbooks/whathaveyou have that retro flair.
Just a quick and dirty primer to 50's fonts (and some that just look that way) compiled from a variety of sources.
Franklin Gothic
Frutiger
Park Avenue
Futura
Bodoni
New Times Roman
Franklin Gothic
Andale Mono
MVB Magnesium

Arial Narrow and Arial Black can look pretty appropriate too.
Trebuchet MS maybe?

Help me out guys and dolls; what did I miss in my overview of fabulous 50's typography?
