These tv commercials aired in 1964-1965 and featured the I.R.T. Flushing Line and the brand new R36 World's Fair cars.
You might like the music and hearing what the subway fare was.

Let us board the Subway Special again:

You're welcome. The World's Fair was during 1964-1965 as these two television commecials show. The original color scheme for the R36WF cars was aquamarine and cream.

I don't think they have World's Fairs anymore.
Edit: I just looked it up to make sure, and apparently, they still do exist. They're held, now, in various Asian countries.

I'm glad you enjoyed the t.v. commercials, Yuki. A slice of unique N.Y.C. Transit history.

haha, it's funny 'cos my grandparents have memorabilia from that fair! commercials make queens seem like the country or something though - we should have a little hot jazz goin' on.

like Q89LCL said, we need world's fairs in NY again.
