The Chrysler pavilion had several BIG exhibits. When a structure towers over you, it can't help making an impression. Plus it is a proven fact that people enjoy feeling like ants.
Here's the "World's Biggest Automobile"! Interesting styling, with its two rows of triple headlights. Fair literature tells us that the car was 80 feet long and 50 feet wide. How tall? I'll have to guess. I say 35 feet. The tires were two stories tall, and if a man could sit in the driver's seat, he wouldn't be able to reach the steering wheel. When you walked beneath it, you could see "all the working elements of a real car".
Over on "Engineering Island" there was the "World's Biggest Engine". Here it is from the outside; the fan turned, as did the air filter. All of the best cars have spinning air filters.
In a touch of fantasy, the giant engine was powered by a "50-foot dragon", which you saw as you walked through the heart of the thing. The ... twisting, squirming dragon (he's enormous!) drives three 8-foot pistons. They're animated, too. Giant hands operate the engine valves. A monstrous "spider" descends upon a hapless fly. Two huge paddles toss a ping-pong ball endlessly between them. These are just a few of the delightfully imaginative goings-on. If you use your imagination, you can just make out the anthropomorphic faces on the piston
