Night view of the Chrysler Motors Building at the Century of Progress 1933-34 World's Fair. Light shining through the slits of the two halves of the building and lights behind the vehicles in the two-story gallery in front of it are reflected perfectly in the reflecting pool which has a row of slim dark trees on each side. At left of the photo is a lighted wing with vehicles. "CHRYSLER MOTORS" "PLYMOUTH" "DODGE" and "DESOTO" are outlined in lights and reflected in pool of water. Photo is mounted on ecru paperboard mat.
