GM Futurliner Restoration

[SuperStuff]

I went to the Charlotte Auto Fair at the Lowe's Motor Speedway on friday. One of the many cool things I saw was a restored GM Futurliner that was on display.

Here is a link to their website following it's restoration http://www.futurliner.com/

I believe there's one at the Auburn Museum in Auburn Indiana. Been awhile since I've been there.

the one in the link above is that one, its being restored by volunteers fro a branch of the museum. Also they one in the link above is a WAY more meticulous restoration that the Barrett Jackson one, that one was kindof cobbled together.


one of the most amazing things to me is, they are SO heavy, the have duallie front wheels, they actually have a differential between them so that can actually turn (one would need to turn slower than the other for a dual front wheel setup to be able to steer)

Most of the weight is probably in the GM logo in the front :lol:
