DHI DISNEYLAND BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION~The Autopia Arrow

Walt takes a prototype Autopia car for a spin around the Arrow Development used car lot near
San Jose. Todd and I spent a lot of time trying to date this particular car. It has elements of the
1960 design, as well as glass headlights (a no no in the world of Disneyland demolition derby).
It has a few of the design elements of the 1964 Autopia car as well. As historians, we have the word 
circa" at our disposal, which actually means fifteen years either way. So we are very safe with saying
ca. 1963. We also think we are safe in stating that that this is most likely a prototype of the 1964 Autopia car
that came to Disneyland. And you have to enjoy a creator that actually takes his potential ride
vehicles out for a test drive. Walt looks very focused, wonder what he is thinking?
