Restoration of Fort Dearborn

  • Description
    Over the course of the fair, visitors enjoyed a number of exhibits and performances, including one from fan dancer Sally Rand. There was also a Midway containing nightclubs where future stars Judy Garland, The Cook Family Singers, and The Andrews Sisters performed. Guests were also treated to a visual history of Chicago. Automobiles were another big attraction. Cadillac introduced its V-16 limousine, Lincoln unveiled its rear-engine concept car, and Pierce-Arrow displayed its futurist Pierce Silver Arrow with the catch phrase, “Suddenly it’s 1940!” However, Packard won best in show with its Dietrich-designed Sport Sedan that was called “The Car of the Dome.”
