Description: 1964-65 NEW YORK WORLD'S FAIR - Ford Motor Company Pavilion: The Ford Rotunda, several city blocks long, contains a variety of exhibits, a number of which were designed by Walt Disney: fragile scale models of historic settings; huge figures of animated dinosaurs; displays of the latest wonders of science; and a paradise for automobile enthusiasts, featuring Ford-built cars of all kinds - antique, new, experimental, foreign-made. The building itself is one of the chief sights: a glass rotunda with 64 towering pylons at one end and a large exhibition hall at the other. Enough steel went into its construction to erect a skyscraper 125 feet square and 22 stories high. The emphasis everywhere is on cars. Part of the tour of the rotunda is made in automatically operated Ford-built convertibles riding on a special roadway. Ford was one of the biggest exhibitors at the Fair, with a truly massive pavilion. The circular structure at the far end was called the "Wonder Rotunda," a name first used at the company's exhibit at the 1933 World's Fair in Chicago. The rotunda was circled by two large tubes called the "Magic Skyway," takings guests in full-sized Ford cars into the main exhibit building closest to the camera. Just in front of the building, and also on the other side of the highway, are some of the massive transformers that supplied power to the Fair. This Photochromatic postcard is in good condition.
