From the archives of Frank Faraone.

Here the driver of a Futurliner looks down on a fellow Parader directing him on where to park his rig. While the driver had a bird's eye view of everything he was pretty much blind when it came to maneuvering the vehicle in tight places. 
Chief Lecturer, Tom Pond on the mobile phone with erection crews. The mobile phone was rare and novel for the time.
The General Motors reception area is being set up. The design was modern and eye-catching for the times. 
The Paraders grapple with one of the many displays. Looks like a display promoting GM's innovations for front-suspension.
This display was for the Twin Turbine Dynaflow transmission. A lot of physical labor was involved moving these displays in and out of the trailers.
