1954 Oldsmobile F-88 Convertible Concept Car

The world's rarest car

The world's rarest automobile: A 1954 concept old's Rocket F88...

the only one in existence.

John S. Hendricks, Discovery Communications founder,

paid $3,240,000 to acquire.

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 large brown bear was shot in Yarmouth.

An eye witness says it was approaching three young children in a parking lot just outside a busy restaurant.
