I think its a 41 Caddy, but the early postwar versions were much the same. Its probably a “full view” plexiglass bubble top manufactured by Fabriform Corp of Bayesville, Ohio. I've seen pictures of these installed on Fords and Plymouths as well. Fabriform manufactured clear plastic bubbles and blisters used in World War II on bombers etc. so this is an attempt to continue with a civilian application. Riding in one of these on a sunny day must have been like being a bug under a magnifying glass.
Don't know about the car but the guy is riding a Mustang motorcycle.

ReplyDeleteI think I posted about them once, yup, two years ago https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2018/10/quarter-inch-plexiglass-full-view-top.html
DeleteNice photo. I think I'm going to look into whether they had anything to do with the bubble top on Ike's presidential limo.
