12 Futureliners, along with 32 support vehicles, toured the country from coast to coast in the 1940's and 50's. Each Futureliner in this Parade of Progress displayed modern advances in science and technology such as jet engines, stereophonic sound, microwave ovens, television, and many other modern marvels of the time.

These Futureliners were custom built by General Motors around 1940, however WWII halted the Parade. In 1952 General Motors refurbished the Futureliners and the Parade resumed, only to be forever discontinued after 1956, a victim of one of its featured displays: television.

This is Futureliner No. 10, laboriously restored to its original condition by more than 30 volunteers working over a seven year period under direction of Don Mayton of Beaverdam, Michigan. Only eight other Futureliners are known to exist, five which are in total disrepair.

Futureliner No. 10 is owned by the National Automotive and Truck Museum of the United States (NATMUS) located in Auburn, Indiana. The restoration is an outstanding success because of the many businesses, various clubs and private donors who have generously contributed products, services and funds. Learn more, visit our websites:
