This strange car looks a little like it has feet rather than wheels. The 1948 Tasco was a post-World War 2 American sports car, designed by Gordon Buehrig. It featured airplane inspired controls and was the first car in the world to have a T-top roof. When GM used the same design on the 1968 Corvette, Buehrig sued them as he owned the patent for this. The name ‘Tasco’ stands for The American Sports Car Company. The strange looking wheel covers are supposed to provide protection for the wheels from the wind, reducing drag and increasing speed. The prototype Tasco had an eye watering cost, escalating to a huge $57,000. This meant that this vehicle never actually made it on to the production line in the end.
