Two possibilities: It's part of GM's permanent collection or it was scrapped.

Only four cars were ever built, and one survives today and set a world record when auctioned in January 2005 at the Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale, Arizona for $3,240,000.00. The founder of the Discovery Channel, John S. Hendricks is the proud owner who has is displayed in its own room at the Gateway Auto Museum in Colorado.

I'm the one who took the 8mm movies in 1955 of the Oldsmobile F-88 in a Shriner parade in Lansing Mi. Jack Wolfram general mngr of Olds is driving.

I believe, Kayla, you're mistaken.

Four cars came out of General Motors' XP-20 project, but only this one, the 1954 Oldsmobile F-88 (could be known as the Mark I), survives.

The Oldsmobile F-88 bears an obvious similarity to the Chevrolet Corvette, introduced as a concept car in 1953. Among those working on the project that resulted in the F-88 were GM's famed design chief Harley Earl and engineer Zora Duntov, known as the driving force behind development of the Corvette.

The F-88 is powered by Oldsmobile's famous Rocket V-8 engine. The car features a mixture of design cues from Oldsmobiles of the era and the Chevrolet Corvette.

The F-88 was shown in General Motors' Motorama shows, extravagant events that were similar to modern auto shows except that they were sponsored solely by General Motors and showed off that companies new models and "Dream Cars" like this one (the F-88).

Final auction price: $3.24 million at the 2005 Barrett-Jackson Auction.

The rest of the XP-20 colection did not survive as far as we know today.
