So, this was a Plymouth built by GM ? Believe it or not I have heard of such a case, but not this particular one. What I heard was about one of the GM divisions building a hemi engine for Plymouth or Dodge, something like that. Apparently GM had something they didn't. I think it was in the 1950s so it may have been Duntoff.
In any case I doubt that plexiglass is anything like what we have today. But it's of note that car companies did cooperate back then. And some of the things they did were awesome even separately. Get a picture of an old Crysler with Ram Air (the engine). Just the castings for the manifolds were a nightmare to produce. Who knows what the cams looked like. I've seen them but not in person.
And then there's the legendary Tin Indian which is not supposed to exist.
If you think about old cars, you see that they haven't made all that much progress. Explore the Cord, and the Tucker. Those innovations are in cars today, even though it took them fifty years or so to do it.
