Artifact Overview
Between 1949 and 1961, General Motors staged its nationally renowned Motorama -- an extravaganza designed to whet people's appetites and boost sales. This photograph shows the use of a unique set of "flying turntables," which whirled cars out of the wings over a rear pool of water and off-stage again.
