My grandfather worked for General Motors and was involved with these vehicles built for the Parade of Progress in 1939. I am glad to see this incredible restored one, great work.
2:26 That's called LACING CORD, used before plastic wire ties were invented. It was used on all aircraft. It was waxed cotton then waxed nylon after Nylon was invented. The wax allows it to stay tight after tying it and makes it waterproof. I still have a roll in black color. The roll is about the size of a soda can just not as tall. It came in an undyed natural buff color and also black later on. I use it on fancy car electronics jobs - the kids have never seen it!
There were, in fact, TWELVE Futurliners. This, of course, is number 11, the "March of Tools" vehicle, what with the "4 million dollars". Of the other 11, one was destroyed in an accident in 1956, four are unknown, one is in the Dennis Albaugh Collection, three are owned by ChromeCars of Germany, one is in NATMUS, the National Automotive and Truck Museum, and one is in Sweden in private ownership.
GM only built a couple of these Beauties, thanks Rana you are going to really like Her. It has been said that Dave Kindig spend 4 Million Dollars to rebuild this one.
check out the full video on the futurliner here is the link its also on my channel, more in depth and what it was use for - th-cam.com/video/ZtRJJg98NM0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=lSwkUaDNh8Kcr9_j
That’s a pretty neat idea and you will have so much room to do what you need! Unfortunately only four exist today and over the next couple of days I will have a detailed longer walk through of the futurliner - a different one to this one on the channel!
there a better longer detailed video on the futurliner - I did an updated video here is the link th-cam.com/video/ZtRJJg98NM0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=C6xy9ac2y9UW2ksj
it would have been equivalent to teenagers love for the f350s today because they are so high up, similarly teenagers of the 40s being teenagers would have appreciated the size and height of the futurliner.
The owner of this collection is a self made man. Dennis Ray Albaugh is an American billionaire businessman, and the founder and chairman of Albaugh LLC, a pesticide and fertilizer company. He is a car collector, especially Chevrolets, and owns one of the biggest collections of Chevy convertibles in the US.

This is a beautiful historical piece and one I would like to see again and in more detail, glad you liked it Bruce.
i remember being absolutely obsessed with the Futurliners as a kid. seeing this brought back a lot of memories, both good and bad.
Thanks for watching my video! I’m glad it took you down memory lane.
Ok, this is my favorite episode. Love this vehicle.
Hey! Raymon! The GM futurliner was just amazing in person I hope I did it justice.
Watched the Kindig crew restore this. What a vehicle.
I´ve never seen such an amazing vehicle. Deeply impressed! thanks Rana. 💯🙂
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed the GM futurliner - lots more amazing videos coming up
Very interesting, you have a great eye to catch things people really enjoy seeing and learning about. Than you 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Thanks Doc, there is some very interesting videos coming soon in the next couple of days I know you will enjoy.

It really needs to be seen in person to appreciate how big it is
Ryan below is right, the size of it would not fit in my camera, that’s how big it was, up close in person it had its own presence!
@@ryanclayson2742 well said Ryan, in person it has such an affect on you, the camera does no justice.
They actually built dozens. GM had a road show with masses of them at once.
Rich computer dude paid for it.
I watched the build on Kindig's show. This truck is so rare and unique it should have it's own large space, not cluttered up with gas pump stuff.
Definitely an awesome truck, I actually have another better video of another futurliner on my channel, you might like it.
So this is like my first time I've ever seen one what was it actually used for

I would love to build a replica of this. But make it into a camper instead. And it would still have to look like a future liner.
That’s a pretty neat idea and you will have so much room to do what you need! Unfortunately only four exist today and over the next couple of days I will have a detailed longer walk through of the futurliner - a different one to this one on the channel!
Me too, it has to be a replica with RV theme. Magnificent build by GM..
How much
This is the vehicle that finally convinced me to watch Bitchin Rides lol
It would be awesome to build a 50% or 66% version of this.
her voice pitches my tent
They did not use small block chevy, the gas engines were GMC 302 inline 6 cyl. engines. The small block didn't come out till 1955
Spot on! 1955 was the first year for the small block chevy , thank you!
They also used a 4cyl diesel on some as well.
Love it! I wish they have reinstalled a diesel engine.
there a better longer detailed video on the futurliner - I did an updated video here is the link th-cam.com/video/ZtRJJg98NM0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=C6xy9ac2y9UW2ksj
Haha it doesnt have a smallblock chevy in it, it has a straight six. That guy should know if he works at the museum
No 10 still has a Detroit.
Did she say that Kids liked F350s? In 1940?
it would have been equivalent to teenagers love for the f350s today because they are so high up, similarly teenagers of the 40s being teenagers would have appreciated the size and height of the futurliner.
there is also another detailed longer interview if you like the futurliners on the channel i did recently.
@@RanasRadar thank you
welcome! thanks for watching my videos i hope you like the channel
@@cherryd4232
That's Gru car's 😂😂😂
This was supposed to be the future what happened!
Wast of space I’d turn it into a camper
It’s not a bad idea but might lose its authenticity
Someone already did that and they're putting it back to stock in Germany
PAS DE CEINTURES DE SÉCURITÉ FALLAIS PAS TOMBER EN DU SIEGE AHAHAHAH
That curved camera is garbage
Is that kid thanking mommy and daddy like he should be?
