    A few more of the commercial slides. You can see a big difference in color in some of these as they had become very red with age. Photoshop corrected them a lot, but they are not quite right.

  • Vintage Hawaii Slide of the Week - Queen’s Surf

    This is a place I have seen a lot of ephemera from over the year, but not the actual place until now. The lettering on the trash can is a clue. It’s the Queen’s Surf.

    I love these old pictures. The guy to the left in the black suit and skinny tie and a lei. They are so well dressed. Below we see a little of the interior roof. Very nice.

    Mimi has some vintage items on Arkiva Tropika.

    A rather dull slide, but for the tiki freaks, I pulled out a couple of details.

    Here we see Mr. and Mrs. James V. Barry on vacation in Hawaii in 1964.
    Fire! Fire!
    Fun was had. In about 150 slides from their trip, this may be the only one where she is smiling…

    Waikikian
    Classic Poly Pop architecture. What’s the place to the right? Tahitian what?

    Update: Of course Mimi has cool pics of the Waikikian and the Tahitian Lania on her site. Thanks to Dusty Cajun for this image and the tip.

    Just your typical scene of Hawai in 1964. Men in suits and skinny ties and ladies in dresses. Waiting for dinner outside the Hilton Hawaiian Village Luau. But…

  • United Airlines Hawaii Postcard

    UA

    United Airlines has a great history with their flights to Hawaii. Not too long ago the flight staff wore aloha shirts and muu muus. Today, they serve Trader Vic’s Mai Tais on the flights. They still get it. This card I found today extolls the Hawaii that is not just a vacation, but “fullfillment of long-held expectations.”
