There must have been two dozen Thunderbird Motels in the 1960s. This one differentiates itself with "50 Luxurious Units" and "Finest Restaurant". |
Enjoy an eye-popping gander at the fantastic North American roadside motels of the 1950s, 60s and 70s. I am an accumulator of motel postcards, and I've made it my life's work to share them with you here.
