One of most important avenues in São Paulo, Brazil, Avenida Paulista is notable for the large number of financial institutions and corporations with buildings there. Being one of the highest points on the city, it is also clustered with radio and TV station antennas. It's sometimes identified as the "new business center" of the city, and it's generally regarded as the most expensive real estate anywhere in Latin America.

As the Goodyear magazine was a public relations publication not sold in newsstands, this special issue is rather rare and highly sough out by fans. Years later, the story was reprinted in album form by another publisher.
