Interesting Ride
Came across this morning. A 1939 GM Future Liner Coach, for the man who has everything.
This coach has the driver sitting in the middle 10 feet above the road and features dual front and rear wheels…..quite a ride! But wait, there’s more below….
And for the slide enthusiasts here, how about this 12 slide H3-60…….The GM Coach will set you back a bit over 700K but you can snap up that H3-60 for 130K, or about the same as a set of new tires for it!
Just imagine what you can do with this Prevost, put the dining room in the back and park it cockeyed and you have a “dining L”……..looks like Prevost OTR air and more roof airs than I can count. And you don’t need or can legally have (anywhere) much of a tow car, rather a pilot car may be in order. Could be fun if we could get it into Jons driveway!

Al,
I noted that the one at Barrett was a 2006 auction, before the fit hit the shan with the economy. Personally even at my advancing age, I do not recall these units; my suspicion is that the one I posted was designed for the 1939 Chicago Worlds Fair. Looks to me that the second one may have been used for GM’s Motorama with that CC deck affair.
The 1939 model’s interior looks like it was designed for lap dances, lots of chrome, velvet benches, funky lighting and is equipped with a powerful gasoline engine (130 HP, probably a 216″ Chevy/GMC), dual front and rear wheels and apparently Alcoa wheels have been added vice steel wheels and baby hub caps as shown on the 1950.
Any event, both of these coached are interesting and I do know the older one is available….wonder if it has power steering or its simply 130 turns lock to lock.
That H3 60 is also interesting, best guess it was some kind of a mobile gambling house or a dialysis center, lots of leather chairs stuffed into the slide outs……both are, to say the least, interesting rides.
