A friend of mine here, bought one this last fall. Was delivered to his place in mid January. Really something to see. Planning to stop on the way to Tucson so Linda can see it. I can bring some interior photos. If the weather permits. He said we can take it out for a drive. Look up the Albaugh Collection. Dennis has his collection at his own 18 hole, PGA approved golf course. There's a photo of the Futureliner arriving on a flatbed trailer. I've been helping him find ultra rare cars. For some strange reason. Money seems to be no problem. Visit the site. You'll understand. Bob

We had an informal GMC get-together a few years back when one was on loan to a museum in Michigan. Matt that organized it. It definitely was worth the couple hundred mile trip to go see it and climb all through it.

I'm talking about the Futureliner that was on loan to the Gilmore Museum in Michigan a few years back.

I just called Dennis to see if I could bring some GMCers over when we have the GMCMI Amana rally. For a private viewing of his collection. As it's not open to the public. He said yes. If enough are interested. We could hire a bus. Bob Dunahugh

I toured one at an FMCA convention in Southern California many years ago.
But I would be interested in seeing this one.

A little background. 12 were built. 10 are known of. 1 is in Germany, 1 Sweden, 1 in Sadie Arabia, 1 went over a cliff here in the states. Never retrieved, 2 are now for parts, and 2 have never been found. ( This info is from my failing memory, from many years ago ) They have been selling for between 3, to 4.5 million each.

One of the members of this Forum owned one that he was trying to restore. I don't remember his screan name but I don't think he's on the board anymore. He had the one displayed in Laughlin years ago. If he's still active maybe he'll chime in.

Sounds like we have about 7 people that are interested at this point. Be neat if we had a few GMC's for transportation there for the group. Dennis has examples of every year of Chevy convertibles from the beginning to 1976. Two of every year of Corvettes from 1953 to I think 1998. The largest gas pump globes, and pedal car collection in the country. Every color combination that 57 Chevy convertibles were sold in. Then there's the Yenko/ muscle car collection. The black car collection. And this list can continue. Bob Dunahugh
