Does this photo go back to the 1964 worlds fair in Flushing NY?

Yes it does, have lots more but have to retrieve them from a drive. Was not sure anyone would be interested in them.

Well I visited that fair with my wife and she was 9 months along. Everyone thought we were crazy. I only had a Polaroid land camera back in that day. I am surprised that some of those images are still good. I have scanned some of them into my data base. But certainly I was no photographer back then. Just a kid with a young bride and enjoying what was to be the only opportunity we have had to visit a world fair.

Did you ever get a chance to photograph the turbine car that was on display there? Would love to see a good photo of that. The crushed all them and none are left.
