* We’ve all had the experience. You’re cruising along the freeway at 70 mph when suddenly you see nothing but tail lights as you come upon a wreck or a construction project and suddenly it’s stop and go. You wish you could just take off and fly over the traffic jam and arrive at your destination on time. But that is only an idle fantasy. UNTIL NOW!!! With the new Vultee Aerocar (available in post-war America) you can just pull over at the first sign of a traffic jam, attach the wing and tail assembly and, before you can say roger wilco, you are off to the wild blue yonder, leaving the traffic trouble behind and below.
