Pontiac Deluxe's auctioned at initial price of 308,000 U.S. dollars

Pontiac Deluxe Six may be one of the coolest classic cars in the world because it looks translucent (transparent). All parts in the vehicle can be seen from all angles.

Now, Pontiac Deluxe will be auctioned by the auction house St. Rm. John's in Michigan with a starting price of 308,000 U.S. dollars. "This is the only known and konsisinya still very original," said Alain Squindo, specialist car from the auction house.

No one knew, had changed hands this car anywhere. Known, since 1980 Pontiac owned by the same family until now. "They're kind of sad to see his favorite car go," explained Alain.

Pontiac is worth mentioning GM's joint project with the Rohm & Haas, the chemical company that makes the plexiglass.

Interestingly, this car has very minimal flight hours. Imagine, when the car picked up from another dealer, the indicator on the miles show number less than 160 km.
