When did pontiac get around to a transparent car? Can I guess the clear side paneling is aftermarket. Please, I'm not a car guy. |

Nice vehicle Sandy, that rates right up there with the glass sided E-units that were also on display at the 1939-1940 New York Worlds Fair. Seems like GM had some common display ideas shared between the automotive divisions and Electro-Motive at that event. They came up with some of their most fascinating ideas for presenting their products to the public during the 1930s. PC |
