Where and When #2 - Solved! GM Firebird III / Detroit Cobo Hall / June 1961

I suppose virtually every AP member can name the car pictured above. Can you provide the context behind the picture, and where specifically this car was, and when this photo was taken?

Period pic of the car at the 1961 "Century 21" exposition, sometimes known as the "Seattle Worlds Fair" (with some disinterested visitors).
