Vintage Snapshots: Hawaii In The ’50s-’60s – Part 2

It’s been about a year since we paid a visit to the Hawaii of the past, and it’s due time to check out the islands again. While today’s gallery is of reduced size, I feel it covers a good amount of the islands’ ecosystems and car life. On the car front, with images featuring parking lots, average roads, and tourist enclaves. Of course, Hawaii has quite a few interesting sights beyond cars, so I added a few photos that capture a little of its feel.

I’m opening with the Chrysler limos at a hotel of some sort in the lead photo, because… how could I not?
