The Legend of the GM Futurliner

The original GM Futurliner is a parade vehicle from General Motors that appeared in the 1940s and 1950s as part of the Parade of Progress. This parade traveled across the USA to showcase GM's latest technological advances and inventions. The second-generation GM Futurliner was produced from 1939 to 1953 and was known for its futuristic design that combined aerodynamics with the elegance of the Art Deco era. These vehicles were not only technical marvels but also iconic symbols of the progress and innovation that General Motors embodied at that time.

Technical Details of the GM Futurliner

The GM Futurliner features a number of impressive technical features. Each Futurliner was powered by a 302 CID GMC inline-six cylinder engine known for its reliability. The vehicle measured approximately 10 meters (33 feet) in length and weighed over 12 tons. The huge windshield provided unobstructed visibility, and the distinctive front with the large "GM" logo was unmistakable. It also featured a fold-out stage to showcase technical advancements such as new devices, engines, or other inventions to the spectators.
