When I was a kid in the 50s, I used to watch the Bob Cummings sitcom "Love that
Bob" because he had an Aerocar and I thought it was such a technological marvel.

But as it turned out, it wasn't a very good car or a very good airplane and they ran
into problems trying to get it into production. They tried again in the early 70s with
a sleeker body type. If I remember correctly, there was some certificate issues and
the idea again failed to capture much interest.

Now, I think it's a novelty toy that will again fail the wide-appeal test.
