1995 Oldsmobile Antares

The Antares was meant to be a stylish, tech-forward sedan. It had a smooth, understated shape that echoed European luxury brands. Inside, it featured a driver-centric layout with digital readouts and clever controls. While it didn’t look especially wild, it was meant to preview the next generation of Oldsmobile sedans—including the Aurora.

The Antares was less of a showstopper and more of a design direction setter. Think of it as the “design draft” for where Olds was trying to go before the plug was pulled. Oldsmobile had a lot of potential and the cars were far ahead of their time.
