need pics of aku-aku sign las vegas!! help!!

I am looking for pics of the sign from out front of the stardust casino of the aku-aku tiki bar. I managed to get some from recent posts, but alot of the older posts no longer have pics available...i am interested in any shots of the sign, day or night. particularly colors of neon used....any and all help appreciated....thanks!!

I have two images on my sites:

1960 Caddy

1959 Caddy

Can anyone date more cars to get a better exact date on these images? Those are the newest cars I can date there.

thanks! i got these earlier from your site....anyone have shots of it from different angles or at night?

The brown car on the left - you can only see the front 1/4, is a 1962 Buick Electra.

Rent or view Viva Las Vegas Starring Elvis....In the beginning you can see the neon sign of what I seem to remember being the aku aku for a split second...Its in the opening credits of the movie...Hope I'm right....lol
good luck

On that bottom one, the white car right below the sign/moai, above the Buick nose is a 1962 Mercury Comet, I think. The taxi behind it is a '58 Plymouth. Yellow car on the right is a 1960 Ford Fairlane.

On the top one, the red car behind the Cadillac is a '55 Chevy. The white wagon behind it looks probably 61-3ish, but I can't tell what it is.

..glad we are establishing the time frame in which this was taken...now can we please return to the topic at hand....knowing what year the cars are doesn't help me with the current project i'm working on.

But it's quite fascinating to the rest of us! :)

I was watching a home movie of Vegas from the early 60s on YouTube a while back and they were panning along the street and here comes the Stardust... I start to get excited about seeing the Aku Aku sign and right the second before they get to it, there's a cut in the film and then it resumes with something else. D'oh!

That is one of the best tatoos I have ever seen, Tiki Kiliki.

It looks like there was less sign as time passed?
