RARE 8mm film footage of the General Motors Futurama from the New York World's Fair 1964-65
Ойын-сауық
"Let's Go To The Fair and Futurama"! Take a quick trip back to the New York World's Fair of 1964-65 and catch a glimpse of the General Motors Avenue of Products within the pavilion, where you'll see Firebird IV and GMX concept vehicles, as well as other GM imaginations. Sources include rare still transparencies and rare Super8mm movie film of some of the concept cars.
Music remastered in Dyna-Stereo and yes, it is pitch-shifted - F.U. copyright AdSense stealers.

Me too. I was born in 1968.
The Super 8 format was first introduced in May of 1965, only 5 months before the fair's closing, and it would've taken a little while for the public to accept and experiment with that new technology. While it is indeed possible the footage shown is super 8 it's far more probable that it was shot in standard 8mm format, which was much more prevalent at the time.

Bingo. I should have known better. Title changed. Thanks for paying attention :-)
I was there when I was 10 years old and it looked as if "The Future Has Arrived!!!" SO COOL!!!
Thanks! This took me back there again.
Nice. And the music was perfect.
If my memory is correct, one of the dioramas we rode through was of the forest in Africa---and a huge machine cutting a swath through it and laying down a highway. Thankfully, our ideas on that have changed!

almost like they expected some sort of return on their investment....
world fairs are literally just giant ads lol
Will they ever build cars with the long pointed nose like the red one ? I think the flat bumpers on cars is safer.
I am looking for pictures or film footage of the entrance to the GM Pavilion. If anyone has or knows where some is on KZread, please let me know.
wonder what would be at the worlds fair 2020?

A couple of them GM recycled some five years later with different paint jobs and a couple of tweaks. They were the vanguard of the future but even for them it seemed to have peaked at 1964.
Modern cars look so...utterly...devoid of creativity and inspiration.. Yuck.
