Love the design cues


1950 General Motors Futurliner Bus

General Motors constructed twelve Futurliners to tour North America, presenting the Parade of Progress to millions of visitors who enjoyed demonstrations of cutting-edge science and technology. This is One of 12 built by GM, a self-contained display and transport vehicle created by the GM design staff under Harley Earl's direction.

Opening side, lighting, retractable stage, distinctive center "cupola" cockpit driving position and dual wheel front axle. Used in the "Parade of Progress" touring exhibit created by "Boss" Kettering that complemented the GM "Motoramas" from 1940 through 1956.

One of only three survivors restored in their original "Parade of Progress" configuration (the others are in long term ownership by NATMUS and Peter Pan Bus Lines), this Futurliner is fully functional and has toured Canada in corporate promotions.

Recently returned to its original "Parade of Progress" configuration and colors. Powered by a 400ci GM truck engine and fully equipped including an onboard motor-generator and updated air conditioning for the driver's compartment. A matchless symbol of the American auto industry at the height of its power and influence. This Futurliner SOLD FOR $4,320,000 at the Barrett-Jackson Automobile Auction.
