Olds F-88

Quick- Identify this car (Hint, it just sold for $3,240,000)

“ 1954 Concept Old’s Rocket F88 – the only one in existence. John S. Hendricks, (Discovery Communications founder) paid in excess of 3 million to acquire this 1954 Oldsmobile F-88 Convertible Concept Car .  Michelle Obama would buy two or three in various gaudly colors. The claim here is made that This is the car that in 1954 could have “killed” the Corvette..  Car culture doesn't support that.  For instance, the only difference between the Chevrolet and Pontiac brands was body trim, the badge, and the cost. The Pontiac had more, and it cost more.  Both survived.  I think experience has shown that more can result in even more.  For instance, and quite unintuitively, it's been shown that a fast food outlet on all four corners of an intersection will generally result in higher per unit sales for all.  Why?   Choice,  and the cluster reinforces consumer trust and acceptance of the concept.  Anyway, if I was  12 years old I'd definitely opt for the gaudier F88.  As a 30-40 year old with the money to buy one however, I'd go for the cleaner lines of the Corvette.  As I near 127,  it's a Bentley.  ”    Cuzzin ricky
