Artifact Overview

Ford Motor Company featured its exposition at the 1939-40 New York World's Fair in national advertisements. This print ad depicts the Ford exposition's Road of Tomorrow experience, which suggested forward-looking techniques for safer, quieter, more efficient roadways. Even if they could not attend the fair, readers across the country could imagine themselves in "modern cars" - Fords - "for modern highways."
