The Futurliner was displayed at the 28th Street Metro Cruise in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The Metro Cruise attracts thousands of cars for a two-day show (estimated at around 15,000).

It was a chilly and overcast day but throngs of people gathered to look over classics, antiques, street rods, etc. (estimated at around 300,000).

The Futurliner was set up at a prominent location along the 15 mile cruise corridor.

Lacking a body, this owner took some creative liberties by creating a framework from rebar/rerod.

Dr. John Wissink wowed the crowd with this 1923 one-horse Buick. He actually drives the Buick from atop the horse.

The volunteers were on hand to answer questions regarding the origin, use and restoration of the Futurliner.
