Bumper cars on the Autobahn ride, 1937

A broad track of wooden planks is divided by a low, padded barrier like the central strip of a motorway; small electric cars with rounded bonnets race along it, one with the name HAASE on its radiator grille, and an attendant in knickerbockers stands in the middle pointing the drivers on. Beyond the track rise a tall mushroom-shaped ride, booths and apartment blocks. The ride was a fairground version of the Reichsautobahn, whose first stretch, between Frankfurt and Darmstadt, had opened in May 1935.
