Upon entering the Great Hall, visitors entered three exhibits that displayed Chrysler's progress, products, and processes. In an air-conditioned auditorium with seating for 400, visitors viewed a 3-D film that made them feel like a Plymouth was being assembled in their midst. The Plymouth, Dodge, DeSoto and Chrysler cars were displayed in a glittering "frozen forest," created by Chrysler's Airtemp Division. In the third exhibit, visitors saw actual tests of materials, processes, and operations conducted by Chrysler.
