Thanks to the Atlantic's In Focus feature on the New York World's Fair of 1964, we learn that nobody will ever get flat tires in the future (because obviously you could never get the frickin' wheels out of those thingys), and that Doris will still take little Tracy along to the Grocer-o-Mat or whatever they call it then, leaving guys like us to smoke our pipes and use our picture-phones to call our mistresses.

Don't call chicks broads! That's just demeaning!

Add a bat wing to that and you have the delta Racer....I'd certainly rock it.

I sure hope this shopping cart is custom for the car.

Dames really get their panties in a twist over that.
