Thatched-Roof House Alongside a Road, circa 1930
Add to SetSummary
"Roads of the Pacific" was part of the Ford Exhibit, the most popular attraction at the 1935 California Pacific International Exposition. Visitors rode in brand new Ford V-8s over 14 reproductions of famous roads from around the world. To construct a realistic, immersive experience, crews used reference photographs -- like this one -- to recreate sections of historic and modern routes.
