Mac,

I checked it out and according to the OKC Auto Show website they're going to let people sit in the Futurliner's driver's seat!

http://okcautoshow.org/events/

Here's an article in Hemmings on them:

https://www.hemmings.com/blog/2016/08/09/a-tale-of-two-futurliners-one-fails-to-sell-at-auction-while-another-goes-overseas/

Kindigit Customs restored one to perfection:

It was a two part show.

We had two of them show up for one of the early (mid 90's) Bus Conversion Shows in Laughlin, NV. One had been restored that we could tour inside, the other was in need...REALLY hard to find parts for sure. Hal

These are amazing creations. I got to see one sort of apart at Auburn, and got to sit in one of the fully restored at the Gilmore.

Speaking of the Gilmore, we visited Hickory Corners on our Route 66 rolling
rally in 2015. Stayed overnight on the grounds There are quite a few
electrical hook ups, not so many water and sewer. But, what a collection of
museums. Main Gilmore is an all day deal. Cadillac/LaSalle, Pierce Arrow,
and many others. You could spend a week there easily. If you guys in that
part of the country have not visited , you are missing a spectacular
collection.

The Museum of Bus Transportation in Hershey, PA had a restored FutureLiner we saw a few years ago also.

I drove the 2 hours to Tulsa Sunday to see the Futurliner: worth it.

What an amazing vehicle. And, yes, they let you set in the driver's seat,
as well as the two passenger seats behind if you wish.
