The Oldsmobile F-88 was a General Motors concept car created by Oldsmobile in 1954 with the final design done under the direction of Art Ross. Also with a fiberglass body, it was based on the Chevrolet Corvette. Legend has it there were three F-88 concepts built over a three-year period, each looking quite different. GM displayed the concept to the public for the first time at their Motorama Auto Show exhibition. The car sold for nearly $3.5 million in 2005 at Barrett-Jackson and today it is on display at the Gateway Colorado Automobile Museum. Fortunately, GM came to their senses and the redundant car was never in direct competition to Chevrolet's Corvette.
