Would anyone have a clue what the Tiki Transportation Company was?
Found this image on an amazing Hawaii music on vinyl website:

The liner notes on back of the LP say:
Tiki Transportatiion was founded by Jake Hoopai, a native Hawaiian who felt that a visitors needs can best be served by a native..with a two-car operation and a flashing smile. A business venture was launched. Today, however, it has become one of Hawaii's leading transportation companies in the field of sightseeing and only because you, the traveling public, with your words of encouragement have made Tiki Transportation what it is today.

The back also has a nice photo of some of the drivers by a lovely long limo with "Tiki Transportation" written on it.

Thanks! I tried Googling Tiki Transportation Company, but nothing came up. You write that it is now one of Hawaii's leading transportation companies. Would you have a mailing address for them so we can send them a complimentary issue of Electrifying Times magazine?

"Now" as in then, not "now" as in now. I'm sure the Tiki Taxi has long since shuttled it's last passenger quite a while ago.

The quote was taken from the LP liner notes. Tiki Transportation is now shuttling happy throngs of tiki heaven visitors between The Kahiki and Tiki Gardens.
