This is what excites me: a long postcard of a Florida Tiki place that I had not seen before. The place I knew, but this card is new to me. The car in the picture is a mid-50s car, so maybe this is a mid-50s postcard too!<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You can see one lone Lewis Vandercar sculpture in a moai form to the right here.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I have no idea what this is supposed to be. It’s an iconic structure and may be the UFO that influenced some of Vandercar’s more odd designs.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The elaborate porte cochere. Lovely!<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This card shows the UFO a little better. Vandercar did a large design on the side of it.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another view of the porte cochere.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The performers in the show.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Another unique bit of architecture on the property.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n
