Smile F-88 Olsmobile....very cool!

I found this on the internet and thought it was very interesting. A two seat V8 Olds sportscar on a Corvette chassis. If GM had built this one, they may still be around today.http://auto.howstuffworks.com/1954-oldsmobile-f88.htm

It was a very nice looking car. Here are some more shots.

One of three (iirc) just sold a BJ's for around 3.25 Million USD.

F-88 Oldsmobile

Hope this link works. I think there is more information on the F-88 at this site.

be sure to lick on the link Read Entire Story

I have no doubt, if GM would have allowed the Oldsmobile Division to produce this car, it would have been well received, and would have beat Corvette hands down, in my opinion.

Here's one from Sebring 12hr race in '56 that I haven't seen before. The front grille/bumper is definitely different.
