Approximately 20,000 people suddenly stood up and shouted rumble when bid $ 4.1 million was thrown to the 1950 General Motors Futurliner Parade of Progress Tour Bus in Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction, Saturday night (21 / 1). Tool transport giant-sized design with a futuristic work of GM's famed designer, Harley Earl, surprisingly sold to the highest price among other collector cars. This is also the highest bid price received by the auction company in the last 35 years. Last year the car was sold for the highest-and unexpected-was the 1954 Oldsmobile F-88 concept car with $ 3 million. GM only made 12 pieces of this bus and currently only three are still there. The side can be opened, and has a unique cockpit. Six-cylinder car with 4 speed gearbox is in the restoration back to its original form, including generator and air conditioning for the driver. Another concept car from GM's 1954 Pontiac Bonneville Special was second, sold $ 2.8 million. Other models sold fairly high are:
- 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle LS6 convertible, sold $ 1.15 million.
- 1970 Plymouth Hemi Cuda convertible that is very rare, sold $ 2 million.
-1952 Chrysler D'Elegance concept car sold for $ 1.1 million
1960 Lincoln limousine that used to be Elvis Presley, it failed to reach sales of millions of dollars and released with $ 515,000.
