Artifact Overview
"Roads of the World" was part of the Ford Building at Chicago's 1933-1934 Century of Progress Exposition. Visitors to this attraction rode new Ford vehicles through reproductions of historic and modern roadways. To construct a realistic, immersive experience, crews used reference photographs -- like this one -- to recreate sections of 21 different "Roads of the World."
