I was going through some old pictures today and found this gem from the 1964 New York Worlds Fair. It is a photo of the Chrysler Exhibition. I was 7 years old.

6770Dartman looking at the link picture it looks like you took your picture from the Royal Tire ferris wheel? Is that right?

 

[6770Dartman]

Dfnsmn34, that was too many years and too many dead brain cells ago. Anyway my dad (RIP) probably tok the photo. By the way, he worked for Chrysler/Plymouth at the time.

I made a couple trips to that Worlds Fair but I honestly cant remember the Chrysler building...unfortunately do remember the Ford building. They had actual Ford convertibles that you rode in for the tour.

I remember that as well. I was hoping for a TBird convertible and up pulled a Galaxie. I was dissapointed but still had a great time and to this day have a soft spot for those Galaxie convertibles. (Maybe I shouldn't admit that on here).
