In keeping with the World's Fair theme of "Building the World of Tomorrow." the General Motors Exhibit presents a conception of future motor traffic regulations and superhighways. "Highways and Horizons." By means of a continuous escalator, visitors seated in confortable moving chairs travel over the super-highways of tomorrow. The tour is climaxed by a full-size street intersection, showing the architecture, motor traffic and pedestrian facilities of the future.
