American Specialty Cars

American Specialty Cars (commonly known as ASC) is an automobile design, engineering, and conversion company headquartered in Southgate, Michigan. The company was founded by Heinz Prechter as the American Sunroof Corporation in 1965 installing retractable sunroofs, and changed its name in 2004 to reflect a greater focus on vehicle engineering.

ASC invended the glass-panel "moonroof", both inward- and outward-folding soft convertible tops, and modern retractable hardtops. In the industry, ASC became well known for converting standard coupe automobiles into convertibles on an OEM basis. The company also engineers convertible tops for automakers to build themselves. Other original-equipment firsts for ASC include the mobile video system (on the Chevrolet Venture) and the powered sunroof.
