'53 COE truck made into a Futurliner tribute, made by the Dreyer & Reinbold Indy race team’s Carmel, Indiana, shop to use it for hospitality use at the Indy 500 and Indianapolis Colts games.



The legacy of the Dreyer and Reinbold family dates back to the 1920s with Reinbold’s grandfather, the legendary Floyd “Pop” Dreyer, a former factory motorcycle racer. Dreyer served as a crewman and mechanic on the famed Duesenberg driven by Benny Shoaff and Babe Stapp in the 1927 Indy 500. Dreyer went on to build Indy 500 cars in the 1930s which many started on the front row. In addition, Dreyer constructed championship-winning sprint cars and midgets as well as quarter midgets

    I saw this vehicle this passed weekend in Auburn Indiana. The person who had it at the event allowed me to tour the inside of vehicle as well as allowing me to shoot quite a few pictures. The workmanship is second to none, the details are perfect. I have also seen two of the remaining Futureliners, this vehicle is smaller but just as unique.
