Call us old-school, but there's something gigantically special about the GM Futurliner. These mechanical mammoths were a pack of custom bus-like vehicles styled in the 1940s for General Motors, and a big part of GM's Parade of Progress traveling exhibition promoting future cars and technologies.

Weighing over 12 tons each, there were 12 Futurliners produced. They featured on-board exhibitions on then-super-modern inventions like radar and television.

If you'd like to see a Futurliner in the wild, be sure to attend the Wings and Wheels event at the historic Willow Run Airport in Ypsilanti, Michigan, presented by The Yankee Air Museum. The event will take place between on Sunday, June 13th, between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. For more information, visit www.yankeeairmuseum.org/wingsandwheels.
