One of Twelve: Restored 1939 GMC Futurliner
The Futurliner was the brainchild of Charles Kettering, GM’s head of research. Kettering established the Parade of Progress after visiting the 1933 Chicago World’s Fair in 1933. The Parade began in 1936, with eight streamlined buses bringing exhibitions of… more»
No Reserve: 1989 GMC Suburban 4×4

Parked 23 Years: 1988 Yugo GVL
How many Yugo articles would you guess have been shown here on Barn Finds over the years? 20? 40? More? This 1988 Yugo GVL is the 51st, believe it or not, if I did my math correctly. And that’s… more»
