"Unsecured priority" refers to a type of debt. It means (1) that there is no lien guaranteeing (securing) the debt, and (2) that the Bankruptcy Code gives it priority over other unsecured debts for public policy reasons--in other words a priority debt gets paid before non-priority debts. So, a car cannot be unsecured priority, because it is an asset and not a debt. If you are asking whether you can protect your car in bankruptcy, that is a different question, and the answer depends on the exemption laws in your state. If you obtained a loan to purchase the car, then that loan is most likely secured by the car (i.e. there is a lien), and you cannot remove the lien unless the value of the car is below the current loan amount and you purchased your car more than 910 days before you file for bankruptcy.
