Futurliner Buses - Bortz Auto Collection

Futurliner No. 10 was donated to the NATMUS in the mid 1990s by the Bortz Auto Collection and is now on the National Historic Vehicle Register

Don Mayton, Futurliner News October 2003:

“Joe, along with his son Marc, have had the vision to save those rare one of a kind concept cars that others passed by. Joe and Marc had this same vision by accumulating Futurliners that would have gone to the scrap heap . One of these (Futurliner #10) was donated to NATMUS. Without this donation there would never have been a Futurliner restoration project. The Bortz Auto Collection is an important part of this historic restoration as well as all of the concept and one of a kind cars that have been saved. A big thank you to Joe, Marc and the Bortz Auto Collection. We would recommend a look at their web site of www.bortzautocollection.com.
