Visitors to the 1939 New York World’s Fair Highways and Horizons exhibit by General Motors were dazzled by the display of a one-of-a-kind 1939 Pontiac Deluxe Six Plexiglas® car.  This specially fabricated see through vehicle was constructed of acrylic plastic (quite an advancement at the time) which made visible the many parts that created the Deluxe Six.  All screws and fasteners were chrome-plated for dramatic effect.  The ‘Ghost Car’ also appeared at the 1940 New York World’s Fair and proudly showcased its newly redesigned front end and grill.  A second 1940 ‘Ghost Car’ was built for the 1940 Golden Gate Exposition on Treasure Island, near San Francisco

Earliest Known Officially Licensed 1963 Batmobile. What is believed to be the world’s first car that became an officially licensed Batmobile was conceived and customized starting in 1960 by 23-year-old Forrest Robinson. After finishing the design, Robinson and a young friend, Len Perham, begun building the car in the Robinson family barn. Robinson completed the car in 1963-two years before the George Barris customization of the TV Batmobile was started. The ’63 Batmobile’ is the earliest known car in existence that was sanctioned by a DC Comics licensee

The Zippo Car, a Chrysler Saratoga, was custom built in 1947 at a cost of $25K. Â Sporting two larger-than-life Zippo lighters with neon flames, the car was in parades and special events across the US during 1948 and 1949
Sometime during the 1960’s, the car was left at a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area dealership for reconstruction and was never seen again.  Attempts to recover the car in the early 1970’s were unsuccessful, as the dealership had since gone out of business
In celebration of the car’s 50th anniversary in 1998, Zippo commissioned a replica!!!
