The World's First Transparent Car

What exactly are you looking at? It's the world’s first transparent car. The unique 1939 Pontiac Ghost Car is a show car equipped with plexiglass panels which allows for that see-through look. Originally built for the 1939-1940 New York World’s Fair as part of the Futurama exhibit, the Ghost Car was recently sold at an auction for an undisclosed amount. (Its estimated worth is $475,000.)

Wouldn’t you love to cruise around in this spooky vehicle?
