 Kind of of the wall subject but interesting   http://twistedsifter.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/1939-pontiac-plexiglass-ghost-car-see-through-12.jpg



Unveiled at the General Motors Highways and Horizons pavilion at the 1939-40 World’s Fair in New York, the Pontiac ‘Ghost Car’ was buit on the chassis of a 1939 Pontiac Deluxe Six. In collaboration with Rohm & Haas, a chemical company that had recently developed Plexiglass, the concept for a transparent car was conceived and it was the first one ever built in America.

Wow! That's very interesting. I've seen cars that have clear hoods, but never where the body was see-through.
