I picked up this news photo of the restaurant manager standing next to the Tiki in the Vintage Roadside photo, sure looks to be 12 feet tall. You'll note that he is holding a Steve Crane Salt shaker/pepper. The back of the photos states that the Tiki was a gift from the sheriff of Honolulu, so it is a Hawaiian Palm at that. DC
