__________ BOOK
REVIEWS __________
Hemming’s Classic Car ... “There are books about GM cars
aplenty, but books about GM --the company and its heritage -- are
plenty scarce .... Most definitely, this is a worthwhile book about
GM's history, and ours, in the form of an enormous vehicle.”
Old Cars Weekly ... " This new, self-published book
from those NATMUS volunteers tells the Futurliner story their way, and
makes for a richer experience to all who read it. This book includes
every bit of information one would like on the topic, and to keep
things fun, it also includes a bit of humor from the people who
restored Futurliner #10."

GENERAL MOTORS PARADE OF PROGRESS and
A FUTURLINER RETURNS
A
great new book for car and truck buffs, General Motors Parade of
Progress & A Futurliner Returns has just been published by
Futurliner #10’s owner, the National Automotive and Truck Museum of
the United States, Inc. (NATMUS).
With 232 glossy 8 1/2 x 11 pages (24 in color) and 380
pictures, the book tells two big stories: 1) the story of the
General Motors Parade of Progress from 1933 to 1956 and 2) the
amazing story of the resurrection and authentic restoration of
Futurliner #10 in Beaverdam, Michigan by a group of highly motivated
volunteers referred to as The Restoration Team. In addition, there are
stories told by Paraders (men who traveled with and presented the
various exhibits that constituted the parade) along with stories of
each of the 9 (out of 12) surviving Futurliners.
The “General Motors Parade of Progress” section and the
“Paraders’ Profiles” were written by Bruce Berghoff of Arcadia,
Michigan, author of The GM Motorama: Dream Cars of the Fifties. The
story of the restoration of Futurliner #10 was written by George
Ferris, author of several articles on automotive history. Ably edited
by Donald Bratt, a restoration team member. The book is available from
the
NATMUS
E-Bay Store or by calling NATMUS at (260) 925-9100.
The price by mail is $35
(which includes postage, taxes and handling) or $29.95 at
the NATMUS museum store. All proceeds go to the National Automotive
and Truck Museum for the preservation and ongoing exhibit of
Futurliner #10.
