"General Motors Futurama," 1939         
Extra Board. Here is a scan of a photo entitled "General Motors Futurama." It was published in Robert Mojtowicz's 1998 book entitled "Sidewalk Critic: Lewis Mumford's Writings On New York." Depicted here is the facade of the General Motors "Futurama" pavilion. Parked in front of it are two of GM's new E-3A diesel-electric locomotives built for passenger service. The trail unit appears to have had its side panels removed so as to reveal its innards to folks attending the 1939 World's Fair in New York.
