Thank you for posting this, I was unaware any of this still existed. HRP

 

Yes, it is truly an important piece of functional, American history. I remember seeing it at the Museum of Science and Industry before GM removed it.

 

Amazing ,no I C chips or computers, 1940s technology

 

That is so cool, with the right amount of hokeyness. Its great that GM fixed it up.

 

All the time it was at the Museum of Science and Industry it was in working condition. They also had a GM display where you steered a small car on a revolving street. They were removed from the museum in around 1988-89 timeframe. They also had 1/2 of a Futureliner on display also.

Thanks for posting , I enjoyed seeing this impressive display. Thanks to GM for restoring it and keeping a bit of past America on display. Hopefully a few youngsters see it.

 

Has any company ever made a die-cast or scale model kit of a GM Futurliner? Would love to own one.

 

Yes there was a limited bunch of steel models built of the Futurliners, I got a cover for this one and screwed and glued everything down and open for display,as usual people wanted to touch it and one of the door hinges gave out and a mirror fell off so with it under glasss I had no more problems.

 

Wow!
