    The world’s first flying car has been put on the market. Built in 1934 by Frank Skroback, it is a collectors dream. Historically, whenever people have tried to guess how we will travel in the future, some kind of hybrid vehicle is imagined that can flit between land and air. This was the very first model.  It’s being auctioned this weekend in Atlanta along with extensive documentation, including the 1921 patent on the design and correspondence demonstrating Skroback’s attempt to sell it. It’s 21 foot long and seven foot wide, but sadly no records show that it ever managed to fly.

I'm just a car nut located in the midwest. I take lots of car pictures. Most of these are my own photos, but occasionally I'll post a car or some other item that just like.

Feel free to leave any comments.
