1963 Oldsmobile J-TR
Designed for the Chicago Automobile Show, this was a four-passenger F-85 convertible with custom interior and exterior colors and materials, cast-aluminum wheels, rectangular headlamps and louvered rocker panels housing stainless steel exhaust outlets.

Well, that's because they are vintage...20, 30, 40 years old, and taken from old advertising in magazines, factory brochures etc.

I'm pretty sure this car is sitting in a closed dealership somewhere down South. Georgia, I think. I read a story about it 4 or 5 years ago. It's cream pearl colored with heavy metal flake:




I think this is a pic of it too:

Check the sign in the background over the passenger side of the windshield. I saw those pictures recently here.

The wheels appear to be chrome. The mutli-color inserts in the interior are a bit eye popping.

The Golden Rocket certainly looks like it directs air under the front of the car.Was there a reason for this?
