[b]"Peace Through Understanding" was the theme of the 64/65 NY World's Fair.
As any NY undertaking is the fair was embroiling in controversy from it's unsanctioned beginning
to it's near bankruptcy end.
Like its predecessor, the 1964/1965 New York World's Fair lost money. It was unable to repay its
financial backers their investment and it became embroiled in legal disputes with its creditors until
1970, when the books were finally closed and the New York World's Fair 1964-1965 Corporation was dissolved. Most of the pavilions constructed for the Fair were demolished within six months following
the Fair's close. While only a handful of pavilions survived, some of them traveled great distances
and found reuse following the Fair.
But as a kid in '64 there was nothing better then hopping on the train to spend the day at the fair!!

These were all taken by my Mom, or myself - the Fair ran for 6 months a year for 2 years -
I loved going there and riding in the cars in the Ford & GM exhibits.
Amphicar had an exhibit and for a small cost they would drive you around and then drive
down the dock into the lake in Flushing Meadow Park and run you around for a couple laps.
Many a weekend was spent roaming the grounds!
I have a bunch of shots I need to go through and scan.
More to come!

Years ago there was talk of a proposed Air & Space Museum on the site of the pavilion but there was
worry due to pile foundation deterioration. They were fearful of collapse if anything was done without
major reconstruction. I haven't heard anything on this in years.
The Space Park was badly deteriorated but some of the rockets were restored and put back on display
a few years ago. I remember they used the park for overflow parking at Shea Stadium during the
eighties. They would park you on the grass in-between the rockets.
The Heliport has been used as a banquet / wedding facility for at least the last 30 years.
The former NYC building still houses a fantastic model of the entire city of New York and is now also
the home of the Queens Museum of Art.
Most of what's left is just used as a park with the sidewalks serving as walking trails. The fountains at
the Unisphere are only filled and flowing during the tennis US Open.

From 1998-2003 it had an 11 foot BIG NAIL in it (to promote the Tiger Paw Nailgard tire). The nail was removed in 2003 and auctioned off on eBay.

[b]One of the most interesting exhibits to me was the "Panorama of the City of New York." The exhibit is housed in the New York City Building, a building originally built for the 1939 Worlds Fair. It was directly adjacent to the great icons of the '39 Fair, the Trylon and Perisphere.In the '64 Fair it was (and still is) adjacent to the Unisphere.
The building was renovated for the '64 Fair and housed the almost 10,000 square foot architectural model of the five boroughs of the city.
The panorama was built by a team of 100 workers taking three years to complete. It has been updated since the end of the Fair and includes every building constructed before 1992. This is almost 900,000 buildings!
To view the model you took a simulated nine minute helicopter ride around the City. Lighting would come on and off to highlight sections of the City as you passed by.
It is still open today.

It is astonishing how elaborate the corporate displays were. It is amazing how they would spend that kind of $$ for somthing lasting 2 years (and only open in the warm months)I can't believe that Chrysler Bldg shaped like a V8. I lived about a 1/2 hour from it, but was only 3 months old when it cranked, unbelievable, very cool pics. THANKS

Any Long Islanders recognize these trains? They sat in a day care center on Peninsula Blvd
and Ocean Ave for 30+ years! The day care center has been replaced by an assisted living center.

Sure, they were part of Camp Tanglewood. The tanglewood preserve still exists to the east of the old camp. I think you can go there for a late-night punch in the head or maybe a bag of crack. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif

In 1964 New York only issued one license plate with the Worlds Fair banner. It was renewed with the red vertical stripe for 1965.
This other was a plate used in the front most likely for marketing purposes. They were selling for $200. (mint) on peebait.

[b] Here is another of the Corvette strollers - looks like it has the remains of the Hertz slogan on the side.
Does anyone remember if these were these loaned / rented during the Fair? Where are they all now?
I found this shot on the net - it was taken inside the NY State Pavilion - the entire floor was a road map
of NY State.
