Basson's Star was an American microcar produced by Basson's Industries Corp., a manufacturer based in the Bronx, New York.
The vehicle was a three-wheeler featuring a single front wheel and a two-seat fibreglass body with a distinctive styling for its era. Power came from a single-cylinder two-stroke Ilo engine, a common choice among small manufacturers of lightweight vehicles at the time.
The design and promotion of the Basson's Star were credited to Gil d'Andrea, who played a key role in bringing the vehicle to market.
Little further information survives about the production history or commercial success of the Basson's Star, and the model remains a little-documented example of small-scale American microcar manufacturing.
