One possible correction: I don't think Disney had anything to do with this exhibit. GM did talk with Disney, but ultimately decided to build the exhibit on their own. Disney instead worked with Ford on their "Magic Skyway" pavilion. Thanks for posting!

It is quite interesting to see how their vision evolved in 20 years: <a href="http://curatedmatter.org/2009/07/19/dreams-of-progress-videos-visions-for-the-future/" rel="nofollow">http://curatedmatter.org/2009/07/19/dreams-of-p...</a> Here is a video of GM's Futurama from 1940.

This was one of my favorite exhibits -- thanx for the video link! I visited this exhibition when I went to the fair in 1965 (it ran two years instead of just one).
