The Futurliner was invited by the Minnesota Street Rod Association to their Back to the 50's car show at the Minnesota State Fair grounds. The show recorded nearly 12,000 cars with an estimated 125,000 spectators in attendance.

From the looks  of the picture above one would think that the Futurliner is posing for a photo-op under the entrance to the Fair Grounds but it was actually parked there to avoid a hail-storm!

The clouds parted, the sun came out and people began checking out the Futurliner. On days like it this, when people are drawn to the Futurliner like it was a magnet,  it makes it all worth while to the volunteers who sacrifice their time to travel with it and tell it's history.
One can only imagine that the fellow with the cell phone up to his ear is trying to describe the Futurliner to a friend. Sometimes I get photos via e-mail to put on the web site and other times I get them in an envelope. This batch came in an envelope and on the back of this picture is written "Pedal Car, Auburn, $10,000". I would interpret that to mean that someone built this Futurliner Pedal Car and it is at NATMUS in Auburn, IN and is valued at $10,000. If you look carefully you can see what appears to be a seat inside the pedal car but I'm not sure where your head would go. We'll have to ask for more information about this.
