General Motors’ 1939-1940 Pontiac Plexiglas Deluxe Six ‘Ghost Car’

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

I know nothing about fashion (just ask my wife), so I had no idea who Iris Apfel was.  You probably don’t either, but if you saw a picture of this woman, wouldn’t you want to spend 78 minutes with her?????????????

no doubt you would, and our tour guide into a few years of this crazy lady’s life is none other than recently departed Grey Gardens/Gimmie Shelter brother Albert Maysles!!!

IRIS + ALBERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And what do you get????  A new lease on your own life.  Iris will show you that the busier you are, the more alive you will become!!  

MAY WE ALL LIVE TO BE 90 AND BECOME FASHION ICONS WHO HAVE NO TIME TO REST CAUSE YOU TOO BUSY BEING THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!
