World’s Largest Highway Leviathans
A Study in Streamlined Transportation
A Study in Streamlined Transportation
Eight huge chromium trimmed streamliners, specially built in the
Fleetwood plant of Fisher Body, transport this mobile world’s fair from
town to town. The caravan trucks are piloted by a group of carefully
selected and rigidly trained young men. The 233-inch chassis and the
engines which are encased in insulated steel are built by General Motors
Truck Company. Six of the
great carriers form public exhibition space at show locations. Another
converts into a stage and still another carries various show properties. Every
precaution is taken for safe driving. Navigation lights, dual
rear-vision mirrors, and directional arrows are auxiliary aid to highway
safety. In traveling, the units are spaced at 200-foot intervals as a
courtesy to other motorists.
