Consolidated-Vultee, 1947.

If you think that would take guts, how about a flying Pinto?

"A ConVairCar Model 118 flying car, pictured during a test flight over California in 1947, was designed by Theodore P. Hall for the Consolidated Vultee Aircraft Company of San Diego, California, but never went into production"

you know, movies were much better when they made stuff like this in a shop instead of on a computer and the actors are sitting in front of a blue screen.

remember the tiny jet ariplane in one of the 007 movies. now that stuff was cool.
