Oldsmobile Tube Car

The Oldsmobile Tube Car was a 1989 concept vehicle that was the basis for the eventual 1995 production vehicle, the Oldsmobile Aurora. Despite still going under in 2004, Oldsmobile benefited greatly from the Aurora, which served as the archetype of Oldsmobile design for the next nine years.

Many of the Tube Car's features made it to the Aurora, such as its round shape, frameless windows, front fascia, and full-width taillight. The Aurora however, was a four-door sedan with conventional rear doors, rather than suicide doors.

Famous quotes containing the words tube and/or car:

    “One of the great natural phenomena is the way in which a tube of toothpaste suddenly empties itself when it hears that you are planning a trip, so that when you come to pack it is just a twisted shell of its former self, with not even a cubic millimeter left to be squeezed out.”
    —Robert Benchley (1889–1945)

    “Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys.”
    —P.J. (Patrick Jake)
