Magic Highway USA, 1958



This is just the type of atomic-era, retro-futuristic document I love.

An exerpt from a 1958 Disneyland TV show, these animated predictions on future transportation technologies look very Jetsons-esque...

It's amazing to note how many things they were wrong about (grocery rockets?), and how many things they were right about (urban sprawl). Tubes, tubes, tubes! (Tubes being one of the many reasons to love the CDG airport in Paris. It's textbook retro-future.)
