    One of the Future Liners sold on Barrett Jackson for $4.1 million. The seller was hoping to get $600,000 for it.

    What is amazing about this one is, it was ALL handbuilt, it now has a Y-block in it instead of the flathead Ford V-8. And this was built by ..ONE GUY!! I think I have some more pics. Lippy

    Here’s something I can’t get out of my head lately: The 1958-1960 Ford cab seems to have perfect lines to go with a ‘70s Class C motorhome body. Toss in a 1961 Shasta travel trailer color scheme, and I think you’d really have something.

    Thats a good idea. And if you round off the upper front of the motorhome to match the travel trailer it'll have more of the '50s look.

    Jack Conrad's Band Bus is the winning ticket for me, but alot of the others are interesting and certainly desirable.

    Posted earlier but more pics:
    this one is a 1925 chevy that GM had at the 08 ATHS, it has a toilet and small kitchen, didn't get any other pics, it's part of their Heritage Collection i think.

    Being so top heavy and with only rear-wheel mechanical brakes; how fast do you really want it to go?

    This was built in the 60s it's two bread trucks joined together for the main body the turret is a section of a Hudson car with the frame and all grafted into the top. The Hudson was just torched apart and set inplace very crudely. there's a sort of theater seating way down low in the front as in bumper height! the steering etc. is in the turret with about a 12 foot steering column! It is or was sitting abandoned near a bar when the magazine crew found it and took some pictures it was a Hippie tour bus till it died there.
