Another piece of GM propanda. The Parade of Progress. This is edited down from a longer film from GM. This PR campaign is really interesting for me,
since it shows them setting up their giant Aer-O-Dome tent. This would seat something like 1000 people and had no internal supports. They
developed a special fabric for this. They were very creative and persistent in communicating their vision, back then... This was when Alfred P. Sloan
was leading the company and they were one of the most-innovative companies.
