Captured by Tom Winger during his 1979 visit to MovieWorld – Cars of the Stars, this rare automobile is the 1948 Tasco, a revolutionary concept car designed by Gordon M. Buehrig, the mastermind behind the Auburn 851 Speedster, Cord 810/812, and Duesenberg Model J variants. Built on a 1947 Mercury chassis, Tasco was a futuristic vision of an American sports car, featuring an aeronautical-inspired cockpit, a two-piece removable plexiglass roof—credited as the first T-top design—and distinctive detached fiberglass fenders that turned with the wheels. Despite its advanced styling and engineering, Tasco never made it into production, remaining a one-of-a-kind testament to Buehrig’s innovation. Photo from The Tom Winger Photo Collection.
