Notes

News copy on back reads: A table model of the building to be constructed at the New York World's Fair 1939 by the Ford Motor Company. The theme of the Ford exhibit will be prophetic of the advances that the United States may expect in Transportation in future decades. The exhibit will be climaxed by “The Road of Tomorrow,” an elevated highway more than half a mile long which will encircle the building. The structure itself will be 510 feet long, 420 feet wide and 88 feet high at its peak. It will be situated in a tract of 6.85 acres. Walter Dorwin Teague of New York was the designer, and the architect was Albert Kahn, Inc. of Detroit.
