It was indeed the "Quality" display, and it was the last of the four upramp displays that visitors saw as they were transported to the second floor of the Wonder Rotunda.<BR/><BR/>Immediately after the upramp, vistors saw a mirrored display of 3 Model T's - with the mirrors creating the illusion of millions of cars on an assembly line.<BR/><BR/>Then there was another display featuring photos of famous people throughout the previous 6 or 7 decades, a manufacturing story display, and then the Autoparts Orchestra and finally the Magic Skyway loading area.<BR/><BR/>Great Stuff!<BR/>KevinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-26003753514704251372008-07-09T07:14:00.000-07:002008-07-09T07:14:00.000-07:00More wonderful pics from the NYWF.

In addition to their custom work for Disneyland and other early theme parks, Arrow produced stock carnival rides for dozens and dozens of small amusement parks around the country. Carousels and cars were their big sellers. Some of these cars (pictured) actually came from Pleasure Island, one of C.V. Wood's parks, which had recently fallen on hard financial times. The cars are basically a small electric motor and a buzz bar.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-56981721417406091112008-07-09T02:20:00.000-07:002008-07-09T02:20:00.000-07:00I just recently discovered your site and have been...I just recently discovered your site and have been enjoying your vintage pics very much.
