This car had an interesting Plexiglas top with an ingenious "headliner" consisting of four articulated metal panels which, when not in use, could be stored, singly or all together, behind the parcel shelf. According to a Pininfarina spokesperson in 1976, the Starlight coupe was first shown at the Paris Salon in October, 1959.
