Just a plane old car

The flying car has been the holy grail of general aviation for 70 years now. Anyone remember the Bob Cummings Show from the 50s-60s? He had an Aerocar. The wings, tail, and prop were pulled behind on a trailer. Just stop and assemble everything and away you went. From everything I've heard it wasn't a great car or a great airplane, but it did work. Only 6 were ever built. There are at least 4 different versions of flying cars in the works today. NASA has been working on ways to encourage and simplify general aviation as a way to ease some of the highway congestion. Great idea, but kinda pricey.
