Yes, you read that right....the Highest Bid EVER at Barrett-Jackson. The bid was for a 1954 Oldsmobile Concept car.....The F-88 'Vert. ONE of ONE, went for $3,000,000 plus the 8% commission......
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. :Beer
