In the 70s, a flying car crashed, think the driver survived. Was composed of a ford car and a cesna plane.

Thanks for that link. So cars taking off is really not a new concept after all ?

Indeed . There is a co-production of Canada and France consisting of 4 episodes about the attempts to make cars fly, name escapes me, was seen on TV here in Europe in the mid-80s
