Was this really economy class air travel in the 1960s?

We love to romanticize the "good old days" of air travel. And yes, some aspects of commercial flight used to be more luxurious. But here in the 21st century we often forget about the incredibly high prices, the slow speeds, and the horrible discrimination of yesterday's airlines.

The photo above supposedly shows "Economy Class Seating on a Pan-Am 747," in the 1960s. The only problem? It's not a real plane. It's a mock-up produced by Boeing for what the 747 could have looked like.

Yes, the future of air travel was supposed to be amazing. But in reality, it was never quite this amazing.
