A fun, full-color look at the 1950s and 1960s
commercial architecture of The Wildwoods -- particularly its motels -- and focusing on its various forms: Modern with jet-age glass walls and angled
roof designs; Vroom! with its thrusting pointed elements; and Polynesian Pop, with thatched roofs,
tiki torches, and plastic palm trees. And of course those great neon signs! |
