I've been collecting information on the three concept cars at the
GM Futurama II during the 1964/65 Worlds Fair. They were the
GM-X, the Firebird IV, and the Runabout. Although I've collected
patent drawings, dimensions, and many photographs, some information
still eludes me. There were displays above each of the cars which
included cut-away drawings and artists' conceptions of them. I would
love to have copies of some clear, sharp photos of these displays.
Millions of people attended the New York Worlds Fair, so someone
must have these photos somewhere. I hope somone can help. Thanks.

Thanks for the photo Orshow. I have this one but it's always
good to have another copy.
What I need are photos actually taken at the Worlds Fair
of the displays above the cars. Each one of these displays
had 4 back-lit panels which included cut-away drawings
and artists' conceptions of the cars below them.
Once again, I thank you for your help.

it really looks like an effort to make a C3 Corvette even uglier...but I guess Mr. Donata aspired for higher objectives:)
