Idlewild Airport

This treasure was found between the pages of an old book this week. The postcard shows the customs facilities at Idlewild Airport (now JFK). The caption on the back describes the "streamlined" customs process at the "36 supermarket-type checkout counters". I can't decide if I am more impressed by the short lines or the luminous ceiling?

More historic photography of the airport here.
