Ultimate BLING ride???

Was watching the Barrett-Jackson auction on the SPEED channel and this ride went for...

$3,240,000.00!!!

1954 OLDSMOBILE F-88 GM CONCEPT CAR

The XP-20 project, commonly known as F-88 was a pet project of Harley Earl (working with him was Bill Mitchell, Ken Pickering, Zora Duntov etc.). Four cars came out of the project, but only styling order #2265 (this car) survived. It was sold or given to E.L. Cord (Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg owner) in 1955. Hundreds of internal GM documents and original blue prints are still with this sole survivor.









The guy that bought it (from Colorado) also bid and won about 6 other cars at the event. Guess he didn't have enough toys as a kid, and he's out to make up for that.
