Futurliner: The Race is On







As the 4 million dollar Futurliner (The name "FUTURLINER" was spelled without the "E" in FUTURE so GM could trademark the name.) heads home from the Barrett-Jackson auction under its own power, I'm sure the race is on for an unrestored Futurliner located in Maine and reputed to be for sale. There were a total of 12 Futurliners built between 1939-1940 and the whereabouts of nine of them are known. One of the buses became a motor home, another is already in a museum and one became an exotic dancer named Asia. I have several sources for your reading pleasure. The first site is for the Futurliner that was sold at B-J (number 11) and the second site is dedicated to Futurliner number 10 but has a great history of the Futurliner including a "Where are They Now" section that is more comprehensive (and accurate) than mine :-)
