This is the brochure from the General Motors exhibit at the World's Fair. It is full of hope for the future, specifically focusing on 20 years into the future--1960.
Here is the map of the GM Exhibit Building.
And here is the short film shown at this exhibit. It is about 23 minutes, but I would advise to fast forward to about the 7:53 mark. The music is soap opera like and the narrator is over dramatic, but I found it a fascinating look into how GM thought the world would be like in 1960. One direction, 7 lane highways with separate lanes for 50, 75, and 100 mph! Elevated turn off exits and elevated sidewalks! Wonder what happened to all that?
