If not, they probably won't have this amazing sign up anymore, either: It was posted here years and years ago by someone (who I unfairly forgot). It is such a classic! Trav, I have that postcard too, I had a whole stack of them, unused, and I suspected that the cards were never used because a lot of the features depicted ended up just being a fanciful fantasy. But to see that they had the ship, and at least ONE giant Tiki (not six), and here from an old post of Ookoolady some A-frames with outriggers... ...is reassuring. But I doubt they had AS MANY A-frames as are depicted in the rendering...and I don't think they had that giant torch blazing on the roof! :) Would love to find photos from the 60s though, to see for sure.
