Guest Reception Area at the Ford Pavilion, New York World's Fair, 1964-1965

Artifact Overview

For its pavilion at the 1964-65 New York World's Fair, Ford Motor Company brought in Walt Disney to design a "unique and memorable entertainment adventure" that would outshine its competitors. This became the Magic Skyway ride, in which guests sat in Ford convertibles through a Disney-designed show. First, though, guests encountered Ford products from Henry Ford's Quadricycle to the Mustang.
