Next up are two images of the General Motors Futurama building. First up is the outside of the building with the expressway in the foreground.
And a view of the entrance.
Final image is my favorite areas for the New York World's Fair...Sinclair Dinoland and the US Royal Tire Ferris Wheel. This is the spot I would run to first when the time machine is perfected.

That "spare tire as Ferris Wheel" must have sounded better in the pitch session than it turned out as a ride.
It's not that tall, and most of the view is looking into the mechanism.
Katella Gate, I guess you're right, but I'd still love to ride it!
Yeah, who cares about the view. That "tire" look was a real metaphor. I still have my Hot Wheels case shaped like a tire, filled with all the original 12 Hot Wheels.
I thought once I was going to pay off my house with my Hot Wheels and Avon bottles, but that didn't pan out.
Nice pictures of a fun place and time.

The giant tire is so cool! I hear its still around, minus the Ferris Wheel mechanics - reason enough to visit Michigan!
