This is an interesting card. I think the white Corvair is a 1962 or 1963 model (I can’t identify the other cars). Tiki culture would put this mid-century motel in the early 1960s. The note of two-room efficiencies probably puts this postcard, dated 1970, later in its existence or is a reprint of an earlier photo.

Aladdin Color is now running an online website with “retro stock photos” and has a 1965 image of the Tahiti at night here. There are also some photos here.

It looks like the motel was demolished in 2004, even after being listed in the Wildwoods Historic Register.
