A variety of the unusual from Yuripasholok Livejournal

 wow... wire rims, and aerodynamics... but no information on what is the story behind that car

looks like a bus converted to use as a car hauler, and though the step cut outs are great, the cab looks ridiculous

If the weather is so nice you can sleep outdoors, a bunkbed on your Pontiac might not be a bad idea for the kids to look at the stars

ever think about concept car designers being amazing at everything except the glaringly obvious rims and wheels? Always the most let down aspect of a cool prototype

that wagon must weigh a lot...

 the adjustable wings are suspect, but the fold up 4 wheels looks like brilliant engineering.

1948 Tasco prototype, first car with t tops... which the designer patented, and sued GM for using on the 68 Vette without licensing

 a Derham-bodied prototype for a post-WWII American sports car and featured airplane inspired controls. It is a one-off vehicle designed by Gordon Buehrig. it is the first car in the world with a T-top roof. Buehrig patented the idea and sued GM when they used it on the 1968 Corvette. He received very little for his patent. This unique car includes fiberglass steerable front fenders. Mr. Richie Clyne donated this car to the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Automobile Museum.

The company name 'Tasco' is an abbreviation for 'The American Sportscar Company.' This mostly-aluminum prototype was created to inspire a contract with the Beech Aircraft Company for production of an aviation-styled automobile. from http://www.conceptcarz.com/events/eventVehicle.aspx?carID=15182&eventID=200&catID=1551
