In addition  there are stories told by Paraders (men who traveled with and presented the various exhibits that constituted the parade) along with stories of each of the 9 (out of 12) surviving Futurliners. The \"General Motors Parade of Progress\" section and the \"Paraders Profiles\" were written by Bruce Berghoff of Arcadia  Michigan  author of The GM Motorama: Dream Cars of the Fifties. The story of the restoration of Futurliner #10 was written by George Ferris  author of several articles on automotive history. Ably edited by Donald Bratt  a restoration team member. All proceeds go to the National Automotive and Truck Museum for the preservation and ongoing exhibit of Futurliner #10.
