What do you think about this? - Worlds Rarest Auto.
I'm not sure if this is real or not. I just got an email with the pictures and description. It reminds me of a 53 Vette. Pretty awesome with that gold paint.
The world's rarest automobile
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!

This is one of ( in my opinion) the most beautiful concept cars ever.I loved it since I first saw pictures of it from the Autorama,and was heartbroken when I read it had been destroyed,as were most concept cars.Then I saw it had been found and rebuilt!
It really is beautiful,and many design features were used in production models. PS-this was also posted here somewhere last week,but it is nice to see it again! ---bil

he was the goofy guy with the Ferrari hat on.
he has a resto shop in Philly
every car he built he lost money trying to sell at the auction,he bought them all back
