1939 Pontiac - Completely Rust Free!

Plexiglass does not rust.  As I first saw on the Hemmings blog (and since on others), GM built this very unusual see-through Pontiac sedan as a display for the 1939 World's Fair in New York.  I cannot help wondering about the weight difference between this show car and the normal steel version.  Talk about good visibility. 

GM built two – possibly three – transparent cars for the New York World’s Fair of 1939-1940, one of which was a Deluxe seven-window touring sedan (B-body), the other of which was a Torpedo five-window touring sedan (C-body). It’s the former that was featured in the SIA article and which we see for sale here today . . . .
