A true rarity is up for auction: A see-through Pontiac saloon car built for the 1939 New york World's Fair.
It's designed as a sales gimmick, but sometimes I wish my car was like this. Then I wouldn't spend so much time crawling around and peering into tiny crevices with a torch while I try to figure out what the blazes has gone wrong this time.

A see-through car might be a disadvantage if you're in a business like moonshine-running or alpaca smuggling.
