    Hope this is not too OT. I believe 30 of these were built but this is the first one I have seen. Would make a cool travel home/ car show work vehicle .

    Those Futurliners are rarer than the Pope at a poker tournament. I have been on the one formerly owned by Peter Pan Bus Lines, on display a few years back at the Big E in Springfield, Ma.

    There was a recently restored Futurliner at a truck show in Auburn a few years back. I'd been following the restoration online and couldn't p*** up the opportunity to see it in person. Most impressive! I not only got to sit behind the wheel, but I took pictures to prove it. :D

    Check out the wide whites on those double steering tires!
