American engineers Henry Smolinski and Harold Blake had a crazy dream. They wanted to build the first flying car, so they bolted the wings of a Cessna light aircraft to the roof of a Ford Pinto, fitted it with cabin controls and named it the Mizar.

On a test flight two years after developing the half-Cessna, half-Ford Pinto car the wigs fell off in flight and the vessel crashed. Both inventors, who piloted the plane, on board died in the crash.
