1939 PONTIAC PLEXIGLAS DELUXE SIX 'GHOST CAR' UP FOR AUCTION

By Suzanne Ashe, CNET.com - This 1939 Pontiac Plexiglas Deluxe Six 'Ghost Car', once on display at the 1939-40 New York World's Fair, could now be yours, at the right price.

The first full-size transparent car built in America (at a reported cost of $25,000), is expecting to fetch somewhere between $275,000 and $475,000.

The Plexiglas vehicle was a collaboration between General Motors and Rohm & Haas. It features a Plexiglas body that exposes the vehicle's innards.

Following the New York World's Fair, the 'Ghost Car' went on a nationwide tour, and then spent several years on display at5 the Smithsonian Institute before passing through a succession of Pennsylvania Pontiac dealers.

Also up for auction, is a rare 1932 Packard Twin Six Individual Custom Convertible.
