TMCP #462: Ask Rick – 60’s and 70’s Personal Luxury Cars, eBay Values, and the Rise and Fall of ASC
 

the 1987 Pontiac Firebird Suntour. This was a concept car that General Motors had made by a Michigan company called American Sunroof Corporation, or later known as ASC. On first glance it looks like just another Trans-Am, but Rick pointed out there are many changes that make this car unique. ASC took a base model Firebird and created one-off ground effects similar to a GTA but years before that model existed. That is not where the body modifications stopped though!

Look closely and you will see a door to door, front to back window in the roof. Some have speculated that the whole A pillar and roofline were replaced to accomplish this feat and it definitely makes for a open feel when inside the car. Interestingly enough, there was a time when ASC was the go-to company in Michigan to produce convertible and rare vehicles for the Big 3…but today the company is completely gone.
