Phantom Kits arent just for monogram

Kitmaker Monogram used to make a terrific clear-plastic skinned 1:32 scale P51 fighter plane called the 'Phantom Mustang', but here's an earlier example of such work.

Seventy-odd years ago GM built a small number of full-sized cars with clear plastic bodies to showcase their internal parts and one of them, a four-door Pontiac, has turned up at RM auctions at St. John's, in Plymouth, Michigan.

The car was built for the 1939-1940 New York World’s Fair and has a flathead-six under the bonnet and white tyres.

It's predicted it could bring more than $NZ600,000. Yes, it does run, and has 86 miles on the clock.

Go on, you'd love it wouldn't you?

What's really interesting is that its still around and hadn't been dismantled when GM was done with it.
