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