Sorry, Web2carz, but you missed... a couple of great Olds:

First, there is the 1954... Oldsmobile F-88 Convertible Concept Car:


Granted, it was based on the first Corvette body style... but that big Rocket 88 V8 would have left the '53 Vette's Blue Fame six banger in the dust.

Then there is the 1948-1952 Olds... Rocket 98 Flastbacks:


And there is the 1962 Starfire... which my old cuz Jerry bought brand new for more than $5,000 in 1962 dollars. That was more than a top line Caddy cost in those days, but just look at this baby:







Whoa there, Bendy! I hate to pull on ya, old pard... but stop and consider the 1955 "Golden Anniversary" Oldsmobile Rocket 88:

We drove that baby in my 1975 flick W.W. and the Dixie Dancekings... and we had a blast in it!

Okay, Burt, you are forgiven... but Web2carz ain't!

Not an Olds, but McQueen owned it:
