GGM M Fut url i nne er

Parade of Progress

This fascinating vehicle is one of only 12 Futurliners built in 1940 and updated in 1953 for GM’s "Parade of Progress", the unique traveling show that previewed the company’s latest designs and leading-edge technologies throughout America between 1940 and 1956. This remarkable unrestored example is one of the five Futurliners acquired and saved during the early 1980s by noted collector Joe Bortz, who in turn sold it to the current owner. Today, it remains the sole known Futurliner to be offered at auction since the restored example that famously sold for $4.3 million in 2006. This particular vehicle is considered the best of the five Futurliners formerly owned and sold by Mr. Bortz in the 1980s, and features most of its rare original trim and "Parade of Progress" side scripting, as well as the massive original "GM" front-end logo and a new Plexiglas windshield. Please note that it is not currently running and will require complete restoration. However, as offered, this Futurliner represents a truly unique opportunity to acquire and restore one of the greatest icons of American and GM marque history, all at a fraction of its projected value when restored.

1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible

1957 Ford Thunderbird Convertible

With its distinctive styling, strong small-block V-8 power, the 1957 Bel Air was an unqualified sales success and remains iconic today. This rare convertible, one of an estimated seven per cent of Bel Air production, features a light blue finish, dual quads, a 3-speed manual transmission, fender skirts, and much more.

This stunning Thunderbird is a body-off-frame, "nut and bolt" restoration with virtually every period option, including a 312 V-8, automatic, "Continental" kit, Kelsey-Hayes wire wheels, PB, PS, PW, radio, and both tops.

1956 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Convertible Named Biarritz, the 1956 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible carried a substantial factory price tag of $6,501 when new. With just 2,150 produced, surviving examples remain highly sought-after today and they continue to rank among the most luxurious and elegant automobiles ever to come from GM during the fabulous 1950s. Offered in very presentable, high-end driver condition notwithstanding some bumper and dash brightwork issues visible upon closer inspection, this Eldorado displays good panel fit, a good white convertible top, and good two-tone interior. It is equipped with gold-finished Saber-Spoke wheels, whitewall tires, the optional Autronic-Eye headlight dimmer, a radio, a clock, and all the other expected Eldorado features for 1956. Power is provided by a 305 bhp, 365 cu. in. twin-carb Eldorado V-8 topped by a "batwing" air cleaner and mated to a Hydra-Matic four-speed automatic transmission.

1957 Dual-Ghia Convertible The prior owner of this 1957 Dual-Ghia acquired it in 1982 from a Reno, Nevada-based owner who had acquired the car in 1977. It clearly benefited from the benign climate and with no known damage, a restoration commenced during the 1980s and was completed in 2003. The quality of the restoration was confirmed on the show field, with the achievement of a class victory at the 2008 Louisville Concours d’Elegance. As one of three Dual-Ghias in this owner’s history, he stated unequivocally that it was the best. Finished in PPG red acrylic enamel, the Dual-Ghia is complemented by glass and brightwork redone to concours-level standards. A specialist possessing experience with several Dual-Ghias made the convertible top. Amenities include power windows, power brakes, power steering, and a TorqueFlite automatic transmission, as well as a working period radio and fully functional instruments. One of the most distinctive and exclusive automobiles of the 20th Century, this Dual-Ghia is also very rare as one of only 117 built.

1958 Chevrolet Impala SPORTS Coupe This older restoration features show-quality brightwork, glass and two-tone paint. Equipped with a 283 V-8, duals, Powerglide, power steering, new wide white radials, spinner wheel covers, rear fender skirts, and a “Continental” kit.

1965 Shelby GT 350 VIN# SFM5S129 Few automobiles are as sought-after and seemingly immune to market fluctuations as those blessed with Carroll Shelby’s signature performance touch. Heavily modified and created from the outset to wrestle the SCCA B/Production racing championship from Chevrolet’s Corvette, the Ford Mustang-derived Shelby GT 350 remains particularly coveted by today’s collectors. A superbly presented, highly original, well maintained and completely unmolested American icon, this 1965 Shelby GT 350 is offered from the highly respected private collection of Major League Baseball Hall of Famer and noted car collector Reggie Jackson. Complete with a rare dash pod-mounted tachometer and oil-pressure gauge and five-spoke Shelby wheels, it is listed in the Shelby American Registry and represents a terrific opportunity to acquire an outstanding first-year GT 350, owned by none other than ¨Mr. October.¨

It is offered complete with the original window sticker.

1965 Ford Mustang GT 350 Tribute

2004 ERA 289 FIA Cobra Replica

2007 Ford Mustang Shelby GT

Completely restored and equipped with StewartWarner instruments, Edelbrock Performer aluminum heads, a Griffin aluminum radiator, a Barry Grant Demon carburetor with vacuum secondaries, and more.

A meticulous four-year build and exacting replica of CSX 2323, the Dan Gurney/Jerry Grant 1964 Targa Florio Cobra. Featuring the original 289 from a wrecked ’64 Cobra and a rare hard top.

Like new, with approximately 300 miles. Featuring Ford Racing Handling Package, Power Upgrade Package, X-Pipe exhaust, Hurst shifter, 3.55 axle, Special Appearance Package with hood and side scoops, and full Shelby badging.

2005 Ford GT During the 1960s, the original GT40 epitomized Ford’s ¨Total Performance¨ program and was created with just one purpose: to break Ferrari’s dominance of international endurance racing. That goal was realized in 1966 when the GT40 secured its first win at Le Mans, repeating the trick three more times in 1967, 1968 and 1969. Based on the GT40 concept unveiled at Detroit in 2002, the modern-day Ford GT represents a more than worthy successor to the original, with a 550-bhp supercharged V-8, an electronically-limited 205 mph top speed, and phenomenal handling capabilities. This first-year 2005 Ford GT was bought new by Major League Baseball Hall of Famer Reggie Jackson and is still titled in his name. With only 263 miles on the odometer, it is the 21st GT built and complies with California emissions regulations. Options include the very rare stripe delete, brake package, McIntosh Stereo, upgraded wheels, and California registration eligibility.

A documented, "nut and bolt" restoration with no expense spared, to the exact specifications of a Yenko Super Camaro. Power is by one of the 427 second-generation ZL1 engines, based on the original castings.

1970 Dodge Challenger R/T Development of the Challenger began in late 1966 with design work led by Bill Brownlie. Its enduring success stems not only from its handsome styling, but also from its ability to accommodate the entire Chrysler engine range by virtue of the front sub-frame it borrowed from the B-bodied Charger/Coronet. At the rear, adoption of the Charger/Coronet rear suspension provided a wide rear track capable of accommodating the wide tires available by 1970. The rest is automotive history. This ultra-rare factory FE5 Bright Red Challenger is a real U-Code 375 bhp, 440 cu. in. V-8 car and features a red interior, bucket seats, a center console, power steering, Rally gauge package, and more. Interestingly, it is a former Hawaii car, with heater delete. It clearly benefits from a comprehensive restoration as offered today, and it has been documented by Mopar expert Galen Govier.

1959 Lincoln Continental Mark IV Convertible Remarkably rare as one of just 2,195 units originally produced, this top-line 1959 Lincoln Continental Convertible carried a stratospheric $7,056 price when new, befitting its regal stature.

The restored interior is equally impressive.

1939 Lincoln Model K Coupe

By LeBaron

Lincoln built just 133 12-cylinder Model Ks in 1939, the last year for the exclusive, luxurious model produced since 1933. No fewer than 21 different body designs were available from Brunn, Willoughby, Judkins and LeBaron, with all but three built in single-digit quantities. That number included the 2-passenger coupe by LeBaron, of which just four are believed to have been built, including this exceptional example. The maroon exterior is accented by a discrete gold coachline, and the interior is trimmed in beautiful grey leather and elaborate woodwork. An external rack-mounted trunk supplements a smaller internal trunk for smaller items, the padded roof is covered with black leather, and other features include dual enclosed sidemounts, turn signals, wide whitewall tires, hubcaps, trim rings, and Trippe lights. The engine and engine bay are highly detailed and painted, featuring brightly polished aluminum cylinder heads. Stately, elegant, and incredibly rare, this top-line LeBaron-bodied Lincoln Model K coupe continues to benefit from the restoration performed about 10 years ago, and remains praiseworthy today.

1929 Pierce-Arrow Landau An old restoration with a rarely-seen body style and a desirable color combination, equipped with an 8-cylinder engine and many period features including Trippe lights and a rear luggage rack and trunk.

1932 Duesenberg Dual-Cowl Phaeton

In the Style of LeBaron

Offered from a prominent private automobile collection, this majestic example from 1932 features iconic Dual-Cowl Phaeton coachwork in the style of LeBaron and a particularly fascinating history. Reportedly, it was involved in a collision during the early 1930s and evaluated as being too costly to repair. As such, it was placed into long-term storage, where it remained until having been unearthed and rescued in the 1980s by the late Rick Carroll. It was then completely restored to its period splendor, with no expense spared. The quality of its restoration was confirmed by the achievement of AACA Senior National honors in 1990, as well as serving as the feature subject in numerous publications, including the January 1991 issue of the AACA’s Antique Automobile magazine and "The Mightiest American Car" by J.L. Elberts.

1932 Duesenberg Five-Passenger Sedan In the Style of Derham Priced from $8,500 for the bare chassis when new, the Duesenberg Model J was by far the most expensive car offered for sale in America. With coachwork, the delivered price approached $20,000, a staggering sum at a time when a typical new family car cost around $500. However, few argued that its incredible engineering did not support the cost. Indeed, the Model J’s specifications sound current even today: dual overhead camshafts, four valves per cylinder, sophisticated brakes, and 265 hp in naturally aspirated form. Offered from a large and diverse private automobile collection and formerly part of the noted Stewart McCall collection in Texas, this Model J is fitted with formal five-passenger sedan coachwork in the style of Derham. With a dramatic black finish and handsome brightwork, it is complemented by burgundy cloth upholstery, dual covered sidemounts, wire wheels, a luggage trunk, and remains a great example of a true motoring icon.

1933 Pierce-Arrow Cinematographer’s Truck A fascinating vehicle; custom built for a cinematographer for location filming and reportedly once owned by Harrah’s. Aluminum driver’s compartment and van body, inline 8-cylinder Pierce engine, 4-speed, power brakes.

1938 Curtiss Aerocar The luxurious and streamlined Aerocar travel trailer was the brainchild of pioneering aviator and aircraft manufacturer Glenn Curtiss, who, along with half-brother G. Carl Adams, envisioned an improved fifth-wheel camper design near the end of World War I. They organized what later became the Curtiss Aerocar Company of Florida with manufacturing in Opa-Locka, the town founded by Curtiss in 1926. Aerocars were used by wealthy individuals and families for personal use, by corporations as VIP transports, and by luxury hotels to transport their guests on weekend tours. The pioneering aviator, balloon racer, auto racer, and Broadway actor, Augustus Post, originally owned this example. Next, it was owned by the Los Angeles Biltmore, then Republic Van Lines in Santa Monica, and then Robert Breeze, the colorful Hollywood stuntman known as ¨Wolf River Bob.¨ The streamlined fifth-wheel tow rig was produced by Standard Carriage Works of Los Angeles and based upon a 1-ton 1938 Chevrolet truck cab and chassis, with the ash-framed rear bodywork incorporating a storage compartment. One of 12 known survivors and only one of the two in running condition, this Aerocar is offered in unrestored but remarkably nice ¨barn find¨ condition, remaining without doubt one of the rarest and most unique early recreational vehicles in the world.

Before the dawn of television, they travelled the highways and byways of the United States to demonstrate General Motors’ new automobiles and technology to American consumers.
