Agreed that only someone with deep pockets could afford to restore one of
these. The
museum surely knows about this one; they seemed to be tracking all of the
remaining
vehicles.
My dad was in both the GM Parade of Progress and Motorama shows in the early
50s and
provided one block of photos to the museum web site.
Everyone that presented for the show also worked setup and transportation. He
mostly
drove a tractor trailer but sometimes drove a Futurliner. They were finicky,
slow
(about 45mph), hot, and I gather the visibility and brakes weren't too good as
they
sometimes ran into each other in the caravan.
Incredibly cool looking though with many interesting ideas; I'd love to have one
restored for a RV...if I were a millionaire....
