    General Motors Cadillac Cyclone concept first appeared in 1959 at the opening of Daytona International Speedway, and then went on the auto show circuit, including the 1960 Chicago Auto Show. A plastic canopy covered the two-seat cockpit, providing the occupants with an unobstructed 360-degree view. The top was specially coated with "vaporized silver" to deflect ultra violet rays, and when the top opened, it activated the siding doors. Dark “Dagmar” front nose cones housed radar systems.
