Just ran into this. It's the only surviving 1954 Olds F88 concept car. Was built to compete with the corvette. Vette at that time had a 6 cylinder with a 2spd auto. This thing had an olds v/8 with 250hp and a 4spd auto. Looks like the t-bird.. before there was a t-bird.

They played with the idea of making the vette a station wagon as well.

There was a couple station wagon corvette concepts done in the late 70s I know.

All of these concepts were before the corvette came into being though. They basically were checking to see who would come up with the best concept.
