1954 Oldsmobile F-88 Convertible Concept Car

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 Gateway Colorado Automobile Museum in its own special room in a rotating display worthy of the F-88!

Gorgeous, simply gorgeous. Mrs NotaSheep will definitely approve, more than she does of the bonus babe!

I remember that one. Looks somewhat like a Corvette of the day.

A D-Type it ain't.

What a sweet looking ride. Sort of like a golden batmobile. I like it.
