Years before the original Bullit Mustang, Ford showed off the Levacar Mach 1

I am ready for the day I can buy something that looks like that, yet lets me fly all the way to the moon in under an hour, and return home on one tank of fuel.

Oh, and I want it for under $100,000. I also want to look like George Clooney when he was 30 and have Jeff Bezos level of money.

I'm pretty sure if you've got Bezos money, the George Clooney looks are irrelevant.

Sigh...we were so optimistic back in 1961.
