The camera sits above and looks over an exhibit hall at the Pan Pacific Auditorium during the annual Automobile Show. Plymouth's exhibit sits nearest to camera at left and stretches back towards the right. Crowds weave about and stop to view the dozen or so cars in the display. Another exhibit stands behind it at left. Cars also line the back perimeter of the space. The auditorium's walls are lined with curtains and banners. At far right, the curtain is raised, providing access to another exhibit space.
