E. L. Cord's F-88 Concept Car was created by Picture Gallery
This car showed up as a big stack of boxes at Cordhaven years ago. We all thought is was a Corvette. Here is an excerpt from the Barrett-Jackson Website:
The XP-20 project, commonly known as F-88 was a pet project of Harley Earl (working with him was Bill Mitchell, Ken Pickering, Zora Duntov etc.). Four cars came out of the project, but only styling order #2265 (this car) survived. It was sold or given to E.L. Cord (Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg owner) in 1955. Hundreds of internal GM documents and original blue prints are still with this sole survivor.
