The 1964 film World's Fair Report with Lowell Thomas took viewers through a preview of what the 1964 New York World's Fair would have to offer. Below is a short clip of the film that shows the transportation exhibits, including the paleo-futuristic Futurama.

Speaking of Transportation Exhibits at World's Fairs, I thought you might be interested in a documentary narrated by Gene Wilder called EXPO – Magic of the White City. Inecom Entertainment Company used High Definition footage to recreate the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair on DVD. It has a lot of information on the transportation projects at the fair. Here are a couple links for trailers and more info:
