The world's rarest automobile. A 1954 concept Olds Rocket F88 - the only one in existence. John S. Hendricks, (Discovery Communications founder), paid in excess of $3 million to acquire.

1954 Oldsmobile F-88 Convertible Conept 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 ascquisition made automotive history and is the "cornerstone" of the Gateway Colorado Automobile Museum in its own special room in a rotating display worth of the F-88
