My sister-in-law gave me a few pictures of a car she photographed in an Oldsmobile dealer in Ohio back in 1955. It's called the Golden Sahara. Was this a well known car, or just a local custom? Here's one shot of it. If anyone is interested in seeing the others, I'll scan and post them. The quality on all of them is about as poor as this one... note the brand-spanking-new '55 Olds front fender in the lower left...

It appears that the roof sections lift up, but there isn't enough there to be an entire door... and it looks like on the passenger side a more customary door is open. By the way... thanks for the clean-up job. -Bob

The Golden Saraha was a custom car done by George Barris.
