The Pennsylvania Roadshow title waves in Green, orange and yellow over the subscript, "Be prepared to see more than you expect!" on a background of a beautiful illustration of the forested hill country of Pennsylvania.
The pale beige pavement of the Lincoln Highway stretches across rolling green hill-country. The documentary title, A Ride Along the Lincoln Highway is superimposed over the scenery.
