The
Futurliner is to be featured at the Iola Old Car Show in Iola, WI,
July 7-9, 2006. To get it there from Michigan, the best route was
straight across Lake Michigan via car-ferry; the S.S. Badger. The
Badger sails between Ludington, MI and Manitowoc, WI. It has been in
service since 1953 and was designed to handle rough seas and large
cargo, such as railroad freight cars. It is the largest car ferry to
ever sail Lake Michigan.
The word from Iola on Friday
(7/7/06) was that there was a large crowd around the Futurliner at 7
AM when they showed up to open up the Futurliner and there was a
long line to go into the cab all day long.
