Futuro house for hire

If you've seen the Futuro house on Tales of Future Past and wondered what it's like to live in one, here's your chance.  There's one in Wisconsin that's for rent staring at $425 per week.

Nice view, though you do have to squat to see it.

Actually Futuro isn't really that bad. Its biggest problem is that it is just plain strange - too weird for most people's taste. Likewise, the Oil Crisis 1973 messed the production up for good as it tripled the price of the plastic.

I remember one of these as a roadside cafe when I was a child. As a curiosity the Swedish Army has used Futuro as coastal artillery observation posts. More of futuro here

The molds of Futuro are still in existence and working condition. I personally would re-design the interior and use less plastics and more wood panels, though.

And some soundproofing. I can imagine how hard it would be to have a private conversation in there!

The moulds still exist, where are they located? The moulds from Canada, or the moulds in US? Where could we make more inquiries?
