    Oldsmobile
    for the 1956

    .
    The radically styled fiberglass concept, designed to resemble a rocket on wheels, was revised several times and displayed at various other auto shows,
    most notably at the 1957 Paris Motor Show w
    here it generated much fanfare, 18 months after it was first revealed.
    The car was featured in the promotional short film Design for Dreaming
