Looking back, beginning with Tiki: Tiki wasn't a 50s thing, it wasn't a 60s thing, the decade of its style lay between 1955 and 1965. If I look at fashion and car styling for example, their look was more similar between 1945 to 1955, than "in the 40s" , or "in the 50s". That might have to do with WW2, but it seems to me that even before, the ten years from 1925 to '35, and from 1935 to '45 had more one coherent look than the actual beginning and end of a decade. The same goes for 1965 to 1975. ???
