smithbrother Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 I just started a model of the GM FuturLiner. It will be 28" long, 7-1/2" wide, X 9-1/2" tall. You can see my latest model under the thread, VINTAGE DELIVERY TRUCKS, it was just competed, over 200 hours, and is a Art Deco car hauler.Dale in Indy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 I think that would make a cool car carrier. I'm thinking the 4.5 million attained at BJ might not be attainable anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpage Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 I saw one of these that's restored at Hershey a few years ago. Quite an interesting vehicle. They had a model maker build several metal models of the vehicle for promotional sales items. They were large and extremely detailed and looked exactly like the truck. However, these trucks are lumbering oxen when driven. I think the attendant said top speed was about 35 mph. With only a 6 cyl. engine they really work hard. Interesting to watch the front dual wheels turn when it's driving. I did have a tour and got to sit in the drivers seat. The driver sits in the center of the vehicle and he is higher than the modern heavy trucks and you peer down on the traffic below. I'm glad that someone is trying to save that piece of motoring history! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithbrother Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 If you GOOGLE, (PICTURES OF GM FUTURLINER) you will get dozens and dozens of different pictures. The Black I White Hot Rod version is what I am building at present. Dale in Indy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
