Only one of 12 built, I took a ride in the massive 1939 Futurliner back in 2021, which was a good time. Few vehicles turn heads like General Motors's Futurliner. Built in the 1930s, the fleet of a dozen streamliners showcased American industrial might and GM's technological prowess. They toured across North America, taking a break for WWII, with the fleet of buses parked for good after 1956. From there, each Futurliner had its own journey to eventual restoration, dilapidation, or obscurity.

The mid-2000s saw the launch of new SUV that offered three-rows of seating, off-road capability, and V8 engine options. The Jeep Commander was the automakers answer to popular competitors like the Honda Pilot, Ford Explorer, and Toyota Highlander. One version of Commander even featured a 5.7L Hemi V8, making it one of the most powerful Jeep models ever built. This SUV was built using the Grand Cherokee as a foundation, which was a strong starting point.
