Re: You Too Can Own A 1939 Futurliner ! I saw that bus a number of years ago. INCREDIBLE!!!

Re: You Too Can Own A 1939 Futurliner ! Under $1 million. It's like they are giving it away!

Re: You Too Can Own A 1939 Futurliner ! If it's under a million, I'll bet it's not the one Kindig (Bitchin' Rides) restored

Seems like I remember $4M is what it went for in 2008. If so, quite the investment! What do I know? Coopman . |
Re: You Too Can Own A 1939 Futurliner ! Must need tires.
I think I read someplace that they now had to be specially manufactured. |

Re: You Too Can Own A 1939 Futurliner ! Flathead powered? Can't imagine any GM engine could have hauled that beast.

There was a Futureliner restored to the original 50s configuration on display at the National Auto and Truck Museum in Auburn at the same time as the Central National Meet. It was on a trailer to go somewhere on the last evening and I took the opportunity to take a picture of my car next to it. That Futureliner had restored hubcaps and whitewall tires with "Futureliner" molded into them.
The 302 GMC motors were an early 50s repower by GM along with adding an auxiliary transmission and a lot of additional rework. The Museum had a great display on the Futureliners, worth a look if you are in the Auburn area. https://fordbarn.com/forum/attachmen...5&d=1723199377 https://fordbarn.com/forum/attachmen...6&d=1723199377 |

That is the spectacularly restored Futureliner #10. It rolled in while we were setting up for the awards banquet at the ACD Museum. I also snapped a picture, but didn't use my car. Don't tell Carolyn that I posted this. ;)

Re: You Too Can Own A 1939 Futurliner ! #10 was restored by a group of volunteers in the Grand Rapids Michigan area. Was in Iola Wisconsin for the show and swap meet and for a couple bucks got to sit in the drivers seat and pretend I was on the open road. A real gem!

Re: You Too Can Own A 1939 Futurliner ! Original engine for early Futurliners was a GM (Detroit) Diesel.
|
Re: You Too Can Own A 1939 Futurliner ! 40 mph top speed, but it was 1939 and we were not in such a hurry. That driver sure did have a good view.
