The display trailer for the Futurliner is being built at Del Carpenter's shop and is nearing completion.

The trailer sports chrome fenders over dual wheels (same dual wheel setup on the front of the Futurliner) and a chrome exhaust stack.

This is the control panel that monitors the engine as it turns the big generator. The purpose of this display is to show people some of the Futurliner components, such as the engine, from wheel assemble and the generator for providing electricity for the show lights at night.

This picture gives you some idea of how large the generator is that provides the 110 volt AC current.

This 1957 Buick Special was donated to the cause and the crew cleaned it up and sold it to help pay for some of their outstanding debt.

The interior and exterior needed a little attention but nothing major.
