Some of you might know of my fascination with the past ideas of what today and the future would look like. Of specific fascination is the 1939 New York World's Fair. This exposition influenced much of our lives today. This wonderful archive clip is the General Motors Futurama. A prediction of what America would be like in 1960!
This was a brilliant propaganda piece that actually helped shape the current automobile age. You'll see the inception of the Interstate Highway systems in this vid. Of course I am still waiting for those floating dirigible hanger but you can't have everything. Enjoy!
And from my childhood, a glimpse of the Futurama from the 1964 World's Fair. Notice the prevalence of cars again?
