See the U.S.A. in Your Chevrolet

 

Yet another postcard from the New York City World's Fair.  And the caption on the back, GENERAL MOTORS FUTURAMA BUILDING New York World's Fair 1964-1965.  Peace through Understanding.  This night view of the largest building ever constructed for a Fair exhibit is keynoted by an enormous slanting canopy 110 feet high over the entrance to the exhibit area.  The exhibit projects its visitors into the life of the future as predicted by GM's technicians."  I'm guessing that future didn't include comprehensive, off-road mass transit. 

Have a Pepsi

 

I've always been rather fascinated by the idea of a World's Fair, and it's one of the regrets of my life that I've never been to one.  So, the caption, "PEPSI-COLA PAVILION, New York World's Fair 1964-1965.  Peace through Understanding.  Animated figures representing children in national costumes entertain visitors on a Walt Disney-created cruise taken in specially designed boats.  A UNICEF exhibit is also included."  Child labor laws, I guess. 

Music To My Ears 10

It's time to return to this musical family collection.  Ii still don't know the real name versus the stage name of this lady and her husband and partner.   Anyway, from now to the end, no more stage shots, no more studio portraits no more pictures of our singer belting out a tune.  There is however a daughter.  Written on the back, "Xmas 1964."  And it's a Polaroid.  Click on Music To My Ears in labels at the bottom of the post to see more.

Flirty Germans

No way in hell I'm trying to translate the writing on the back of this print.  The hand writing is so bad that I doubt  even someone from Germany could be sure of what's scrawled here.  Well, I can make out 1964, so that's something.  I did run a search on the printer's stamp.  Linder Platz came up as a main shopping street in Hanover in Lower Saxony.

Laughing Germans

This one's dated "11.5.64" in the European manner.  It's printed on German made Agfa paper.  So, what the hell, they're laughing German women.  Perhaps they've been to Hamburg to see The Beatles and couldn't believe the haircuts.
