[CharlieLykes]

[unknown3E]

i saw one of those today on the highway! by far the coolest thing i have ever seen!

[barmtrail]

What ever happened to this once great country?

[VuDu4000]

Looks like something from Fallout 3. Nice truck however, or whatever it supposed to be :).

See? Futerliners. Why couldn't they have continued to manufacture vehicles like those, instead of the absolute CRAP they insist on putting out now?

[Hotrodx199]

Wow with twelve being made you'll find one when hell freezes over if you get lucky.

That's very cool. I know there's a big annual car show in Sweden for American cars. And Swedish TV4 airs my Great Cars series. I'll have to come over some time.

I really love these Futurliners....although I prefer the look of GM'S remodeled version that continued the Parade Of Progress after WW2, and ran until 1956.

One very similar vehicle from the ornginal 12 is for sale and refurb in July of 2009 at a price tag of $600,000.

Hey Galileo3

I saw one Futureliner yesterday in a small

town called Rättvik in Sweden, it was a

HUGE project and very rusty and the owner a Swede sold tickets for people

to look inside, what a fascinating site.

The owner told me that it will probably

take him up to 10 years to finish this

project wehicle.

Check out my video!

I made a slideshow of the Futurliner you´r talking about.

I took photos of it yesterday in Borlänge.

[mrpitv]

What a great find -- can you link your slide show to the video? It's really wonderful. thank you.

[mrpitv]

That's amazing. How did it get to Sweden?

[bigbzon]

The only thing i know is that some guy bought it and took it here and that he's planning to restore it over 10 years.

the guy bought it from a california collector that has 3 I think. And shipped it to sweden a year ago
