1989 Oldsmobile Tube Car
This wild, rounded sedan looked like a rolling bullet. The Tube Car was aerodynamic and curvy, showing off a new design direction. Its interior was wide, flat, and airy, with screens instead of gauges and a two-spoke steering wheel.
While it was never production-ready, the Tube Car’s look ended up influencing the 1995 Aurora—a car many consider one of Oldsmobile’s last great efforts. It proved that even in the late ’80s, Olds designers weren’t afraid to take chances.
