38. Pontiac’s Glass Car
It was actually made of Plexiglass but it was transparent. In 1939, Pontiac worked together with Rohm and Haas, the company that first discovered Plexiglass. Together they fashioned this car as a large advertisement. Created for the World’s Fair, this car was a head turner. Dubbed the “glass car,” it was the first transparent car in America. Costing just $25,000 to build, the car sold for over $300,000 at auction in Michigan in July of 2011 after belonging to the same family since the 1980s.
