NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - A golden 1954 Oldsmobile concept car sold at auction this weekend for $3.24 million.

The Oldsmobile F-88 is similar to the Chevrolet Corvette concept car -- they were termed "dream cars" at the time -- that debuted a year earlier and quickly entered production. Both were two-seat roadsters with fiberglass bodies. The F-88 is powered by a 324 cubic-inch Oldsmobile Rocket V-8 engine producing a maximum 250 horsepower.

The car was auctioned Saturday at the 34th annual Barrett-Jackson classic car auction in Scottsdale, Ariz. The $3.24 million final selling price was the highest ever paid for a car at that auction.



Wow it's a beautiful car looking at the pics of it.

Take of the rear tail fins and it would be a Corvette!

I saw the actual sale. I must say, that man has more money than sense. I could not figure out if he was crying over losing millions or the fact he bought a car. Dumb Dumb.
