3. Oldsmobile Golden Rocket

The Oldsmobile Golden Rocket debuted in 1956 at the New York Motorama. The vehicle stole the show with its missile shaped, shark nose body. Under the hood was a 275 horsepower V-8 engine. With a body composed of fiberglass, the Golden Rocket weighed only 2500 pounds. With such a low body weight and decent engine power, the Golden Rocket would have been one fast vehicle. The Golden Rocket was equipped with a number of electronic conveniences that are a normal feature on today’s cars. One feature that never reached production was what happened when the door was opened. When opening the doors, the seats automatically raised three inches and swiveled outward. At the same time the roof panels tilted upward to make getting in and out of the car easier. Sadly the production model Golden Rocket did not feature the same look or features as the concept.
