Highest price EVER paid for ANY car through B-J was at this last show. $3.5 million for the 1950's Oldsmobile concept car that was to compete with T-bird's. Ironically, seller bought it for $500K a few years back and was going to sell it to a museum for $200K last year but, they refused it. B-J followers felt that anything near $500K would have been a big win. Talk about one seller going home with a grin that will never wash off....... |

They say it was not put into production because it had a V8 and the Corvette only had a six. GM figured if they built the Olds it would have killed the Vette and they did not want to chance it. |

It was actually Chevy convincing GM that producing the Olds would halt sales of Vettes, who were the bigger sellers at the time. The Olds was then ordered destroyed. Someone with a brain decided that wasn't going to happen (hear that iscream?). I recently posted a link on here to a video of the history of this car... pretty interesting... a search should find it. And if anyone can manage to save a copy of the full size wmv file, I'd like it. This message has been edited by idive on 02-16-2005 at 02:23 AM |
