The cockpit of Rotar (The Roth Air Car) was a tight fit, especially for its creator Ed Roth. Powered by two Triumph motorcycle engines, and weighing 750 pounds, Rotar was able to hover several inches off the ground. A Roth Studios promotional postcard optimistically claimed “there is a remote possibility that this will be the first car to reach the MOON”.

In 1962, Roth built Rotar (for Roth Air Car), a bubble-topped fiberglass vehicle that, much to the amazement of car-show-goers, was not a car at all, but an aircraft. Rotar hovered on a cushion of air produced by the downdraft of two large fan blades, each of which was powered by a 650cc Triumph motorcycle engine.
