the lost chapter: Hop Louie and the Stockton Islander (image heavy) - General Tiki

Jim, I remember that in the early 60s some American car makers offered "silver metallic" paint jobs, not just silver (grey), but green metallic, blue metallic and so on. True, that Lattitude 20 entrance is like a different restaurant than the Islander! I wonder if the Barney West Moai was gone, or is just out of frame to the left. I tried to lighten the shadows to see more of the Tiki, you might have more luck with it doing that in the scanner: The Tiki on the right of the porch is almost not visible. For comparison: I would love to see a good quality shot of the sign-Tiki between "cocktails" and "dancing"
