I enjoyed that, watched it twice and counted seven various cars with.........whitewalls!!!! Loved that Roadster that followed along. Sometimes I wish I had bought a Roadster, maybe in my next life.

At the begining you can see the recreation of old Fort Dearborn, You can see other famous buildings that they were building or recreating for the worlds fair in 33 and 34. And then right after you can see Soldier Field (where the Bears Play now) The airfield that you see is probably Orchard Field which was way out in the sticks then, Most people know it now as O'Hare !

fascinating film of a bygone era, so different from our own. The Wiki article on Wiley Post says that the "Winnie Mae" survives today in the National Aerospace Museum.
