Well, it’s the trilon & perisphere from the 1939 World’s Fair and, if it was a part of that fair, it would be in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, but I went there a lot as a kid and never saw this.

Someplace in Queens.

That’s the Trylon and Perisphere, BTW

Looks like there has to be a cable miniseries to refresh the memories around here.

There are some way cool videos on YouTube that show the 39 Fair, the Trylon and Perisphere, and the 39 GM Futurama.

Actually, there is an outstanding documentary about the ’39 Fair called The World of Tomorrow.
