Default Re: Forget the 09 Camaro, I want an 08 one of these!

Charley's right....these 'Skycars' have been going on forever. . I remember an excellent article Cars and Parts magazine did on them years ago. . A lot of them have been 'Tuckerish' efforts and some outright dupe jobs created for cash investors? . The best results were from the guy that started with a plane as it's easier to make a plane drive on ground than a car fly. . One effort was a flying Ford Pinto....folding wings etc. . I think the prototype crashed resulting in the death of the owner/inventor? . Wasn't the Stout Scarab a result of a stab at it to? . I think he was a plane guy going Auto and the Scarab was a great rig on it's own so he stayed on the ground....with his cars anyway? ~ Pete
