Default 1939 GM Futureliner

How about the sale of #7 Futureliner! Crazy back story about the guy who sold it on Facebook.

I would say ponying up 1/2 million for a project puts you in the deep pocket category!

He says all were "distroyed"? but his? I went to a truck show several years ago, where there were two of them. One restored, and one under restoration.

Wikipedia says one was wrecked in 1956 and two others are so far unaccounted for, but the rest still exist in one form or another. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GM_Futurliner

He's talking about the displays that were inside the trucks. GM only retained one of them and junked the rest.

I'd love to have a GM Futurliner..... but no display. And I know what I'd use it for too.
