At an AACA Christmas banquet, where all of the Futurliner volunteers were
invited to attend, a presentation of appreciation was given to Don
Mayton for his efforts in directing the Futurliner restoration
project.
|
Wes Myrick (right) makes the presentation to Don (holding the
award). The picture doesn't show it well, but all the names of the
volunteers were listed on the plaque.
|
Wes also made a presentation to Don of a Futurliner model on behalf
of the volunteers. This was the first time Don had seen a completed
model and had no idea that the volunteers were buying it for him out
of their own pocket.
|
Don poses with his model Futurliner. Each model is numbered. This is
#2. Number one will be at the NATM museum in Auburn, IN.
|
The model is heavy duty and functions in every way. The doors open,
the light bar goes up, etc. It's made of a heavy gauge steel and
quite well detailed.

These models are for sale. They retail for $1,845. To check it out
