Tange, who designed Tokyo's Olympic stadium, had laid out a trunk-and-branch design for the 815-acre site; the U.S. pavilion's balloon design was to have been echoed by surrounding pavilions, notably those of France and Japan. American Architects Sam Brody and Lewis Davis, working with Tange, designed the experimental complex. "Until now," says Brody, "air structures have been rather lumpish affairs on the ground. We wanted to introduce the airborne silhouette...

...Much of the success has been due to the doughty American, which Chairman Roy M. Chapin decided to promote as a competitor to small foreign imports. So far, sales are slightly ahead of the 1967 pace -not bad for a car whose basic design is four years old. Next year, as a five-year-old, about all it will get is a change in name, from American to Rambler. It will thus become the latest-and now the only-line to carry the name that won fame in the 1950s when A.M.C. was dueling successfully with what George Romney called...
