Truly a one (or three) of a kind. "RM Auctions will offer a most unusual Pontiac – the transparent display car that GM built for the 1940s World’s Fair."

From there, it went to a couple of Pontiac dealers in Pennsylvania before another Pennsylvanian, Don Barlup, bought it in 1973."

1954 - Pontiac - Star Chief Straight Eight
A quick digression ... I caught site of this 1954 Pontiac Star Chief Straight Eight outside of a drug store on Broadway in Sacramento, CA, on Sunday. The new owner is the car's third - a young guy that picked up this sweet, stock ride in Modesto. The car has some exceptional side chrome trim - really nice stuff.
