Title: New York National Automobile Show 1937 Grand Central Palace mural
Media Type:
Photographic Prints
Source: Automobile Reference Collection
Notes:
One of the huge murals for the 1937 National Automobile Show, which will be staged in Grand Central Palace, New York, October 27 to November 3. The background is deep blue and the lettering and drawing outlined in white. It is an amusing contrast between the awkward looking, high-priced gas buggies of an earlier day and the sleek bodies of 1938, which are offered at prices greatly reduced by quantity production and advanced engineering. This mural will be one of those decorating the entrance lobby of the show. It measures 7 x 12 feet and will have a gold border.
