The centerpiece
One of only two restored Futurliners
This is one of only two Futurliners restored to their original glory. Experts from the National Auto and Truck Museum in Auburn, Indiana host tours of the vehicle, answer questions, and let guests inside the Futurliner. They will even help take photos as people experience this once in a lifetime opportunity.
The Futurliner serves as the centerpiece of a very special display recreating the 1953 GM Motorama, set around the beautiful Lake Mirror Promenade in Lakeland, Florida.
