The 1989 Oldsmobile Tube Car served as the prototype for the future 1995 Oldsmobile Aurora

A team led by GM Vice President of Design Charles “Chuck” Jordan worked on its design.

The concept broke completely with the angular and conservative styling of 1980s American sedans, featuring a radical, streamlined body reminiscent of a flying saucer.

Its unofficial nickname, the “Tube Car,” was a direct reference to its unusual, seamless silhouette with smooth, rounded shapes.
