Very Cool find parked on a street. Ultra-Rare 1930s GM Futurliner Seen Street Parked in Random Small Town—and We’ve Got Answers (thedrive.com) Another Great read We Found Ford's Incredible Turbine-Powered Semi-Truck 'Big Red' That's Been Lost for Decades (thedrive.com)

This is a mere 5 years' difference in age; we'll never see this degree of stylistic change ever again.

Agreed. It's really sad, I read of pregnant mtohers giving birth and not living to spend time with their newborns. More than anything, I mourn for dead American citizens. On a more positive note, loving 1950's cars, love retro interior style...

Pack-rat

i love that era of GM dashboards.....lots of rectangular or square buttons ...so many operative choices!

Keep in mind the population of the U.S. has grown from 100 million to 330 million in that time span. 1918 was far more deadlier in terms of percentages.

EDIT :: Wiki says the 3rd gen were used for the '39 World's Fair. eDIT :: The 2nd "Parade of Progress" unit is the 1st gen silver-top 1936 version. 8 were built. The "Previews of Progress" unit was built in '38, but I now think it was a single, additional unit to the '36s.

I love the Futurliners. There were at least 3 versions; the style above was rebuilt from the 2nd generation and came out - apparently- in '41. Here's the initial 3rd gen version; GM modified the bubble roof for more shade due to driver's complaints of high heat in there. These are the other 2 versions; there's very little info on them out there. I think the 2nd one was how they looked in '39, but the first one -which looks older to me- is a dually, which seems to make it 'closer' the the '41. I believe the Futurliners were first build in '36. Would like to learn more about the earlier ones. I theorize that the 1st gen was rebodied into the 2nd, and the 2nd into the 3rd... meaning none of the 1st or 2nd gen exist.

Lincoln SUV styling has really grown on me. I could see buying a Lincoln SUV CPO at some point. Your positive for the day, this guy dances with people from all over the world.

True that..radical styling and proportion changes in a short span...then park a '63 there, so much change from '53 to '58 to '63... just 10 years between '53 and '63, yet it's like 30 years of styling difference from the tall humpy late 40s-early 50s themes to the squared off lower-longer-wider early 60s... That garage reminds me of a guy a few streets over from me--has a mint early 50s Lincoln and early 60s Lincoln in his garage, and a mid 90s Town Car and recent MKS in his driveway..

Utterly gorgeous. This made my day!

Will come help you hang it if you wish...

I have that same style multi-bulb starburst ceiling lamp to put in my dining room when I eventually remodel.

Just as I was about to post how lonely the Buick looks, I scroll down just one post, and its already been noticed by you. I guess you really are 2 quick. But...the REAL question is: are you 2 legit...2 quit?

After 4+ years working from home full time, I don’t know if I could go back to a commute to an office. I’ve only gone into the office at my current job twice. The drive—about 35 miles each way—was tiring, though I took the scenic way home through the National park and enjoyed that.

Totally agree it is very weird but then I see this now that we have surpassed the deaths of the 1918 Influenza as a culling of the idiots. I also saw in the news today that another Conservative radio host is telling conservatives to get vaccinated, that the liberals are using reverse phycology to kill them off and they are stupid if they do not get vaccinated. Was cracking up laughing when I saw that story pop up. Everyone has a reason pro or con about Covid-19, but until they get sick, then things change. I suspect we will never really see a change back to the way things were pre-pandemic due to the mutations of the virus. I see we have a new version they have listed on the John Hopkins and CDC web site that is a variant of interest due to the fact that it has less than 10,000 infections here in the U.S. but is the core version now in Central America and it is resistant to the current Vaccines. As such, I suspect we have a long way to go on Viruses. BACK ON AUTO TOPICS I am very excited as GM rumors are that they will have a ton of announcements at SEMA this year. Current news as I posted was the death of their 755 HP V8 crate motor, but rumors is a new version will come out due to the new top end Corvette that could be announced. Second rumor is that the new e-Crate motor choices will get announced now that GM has shown off their Ultium Motors. This is one I am excited about as I am looking to change my 1994 GMC Suburban to AWD Electric, would be cool to put the 1,000 HP trio motors with controllers that is going into the Hummer Pickup into my Suburban.

whats crazy. spouse works in the building across the road in this picture (with the half round entry feature). sort of crazy to be fortunate enough that we work less then a mile apart......except of course during this covid she is working from home fully. how often does your S.O.'s work office end up less than a mile from yours....

So today is officially 2 year carversary. shall I sing it a song and get it a cake?
