Worlds Fair Part III

I picked up a third postcard (Part I, Part II) from the 1964/1965 New York World's Fair. This one featuring The Ford Rotunda. The back of the card states "This unique building has a glass rotunda with 64 towering pylons at one end and a large exhibition hall at the other. It contains a variety of exhibits, a number of which were designed by Walt Disney."

The Nickel Tour included this description of the attraction. "What visitors lived through - in twelve minutes - was the whole story of mankind (and dinosaurs-kind, too) from it's very beginning in the steaming jungles of prehistory through the discovery of fire and the invention of the wheel. Caveman peered out from behind the rocks and giant dinosaurs towered above the trees as guests rode along the Magic Skyway in the modern-day comfort of a real Ford convertible. Just ahead lay the future, through a room filled with multicolored wheels that marked the entrance to "Space City".

What really made this attraction unique was its Magic Skyway feature. Guests didn't board your basic theme park vehicle. They actually rode in the latest Ford cars that were pulled along a track.

Alas, at the end of the World's Fair, Ford ended their sponsorship with Disney and the only part of this attraction that made its way to Disneyland were the dinosaurs that ended up in the Grand Canyon Diorama on the Disneyland Railroad.
