The Original: The Story of the GM Futurliner
The GM Futurliner is an iconic series of vehicles originally developed by General Motors in the 1940s. These amazing vehicles were the centerpiece of the "Parade of Progress," a mobile exhibition showcasing technological innovations and visions of the future. The first generation of the Futurliner was built from 1940 to 1941 and was replaced in 1953 by a revised series, the second generation. Only twelve of these vehicles were ever made. The GM Futurliner is particularly notable for its aerodynamic design, characterized by a striking combination of chrome, red, and white. The vehicle was equipped with advanced technology, including an inline eight-cylinder diesel engine, an automatic transmission, and sophisticated electrical equipment for presentation purposes.
