This is the car that in 1954 could have "killed" the Corvette....so, Chevrolet, being GMs big sales and profit Division, campaigned to GM to "kill" this car.

When Chevy was coming out with its 6-cyl. sports car with its 2-speed "Powerglide" transmission and side curtains here was a sports car from Olds with a big old V-8 and power windows.

So, GM said no to Oldsmobile on building this car.......

The world's rarest automobile. A 1954 concept Oldsmobile Rocket F88 - the only one in existence. (read the story below) John S. Hendricks, (Discovery Communications founder) paid in excess of 3 million to acquire.

1954 Oldsmobile F-88 Convertible Concept Car

After spending decades as a collection of parts stuffed into wooden crates – the F-88 was reassembled.

In 1954 – the F-88 was a Motorama “Dream Car” and was one of only two – or an unconfirmed possible three ever created. The F-88 seen here is literally the only car left of its kind – and was sold to John and Maureen Hendricks at the prestigious Barrett-Jackson Auto Auction in Scottsdale, Arizona for an unbelievable $3,240,000.

This acquisition made automotive history and is the “cornerstone” of the GatewayColorado Automobile Museum in its own special room in a rotating display worthy of the F-88!

Nice car, I seen this car before...they sold it awhile ago...2005 I think?

I like this 1967 pontiac gto a whole lot more that they sold in 2011 ;) This is the car from the movie "XXX" with vin diesel. Too bad this car sold with a scrap title...would've sold for a lot more if it didn't
