Cars that Really Fly - Your Contributions are Welcome

[Otto Puzzell]

We've had quite a few puzzles of cars that were supposed to fly and/or hover. This photo thread eschews those flights of fancy. Instead, this thread is for photos of cars that realy did become airborne. The only rules here:

• Photos must be from before 1980, before hotdog stunts became commonplace in moves, TV and the internet.
• All 4 wheels must be off the ground

Enjoy, and please, share some of your own!

A famous German advertisement for reaching your mutual building society in time in order to receive this year's financial grant. There was a similar picture with a Goliath GD 750 (http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=15651.msg151877#msg151877):

Oh yes, the famous ad campaign with various designs. Unfortunately I can´t find one in good resolution on my HD.

But many others...

Careful - some of those have one or more wheels still on the ground...

Nice ... great thread, Otto!

Saw an old ad campaign the other day that, iirc, had 2 of the same model ... 1 firmly on the ground, the other suspended in air.  But, sadly, that's all I remember about it.  NOT sleeping has its disadvantages.....

I know these are small wheels, but they're all four in the air!

This one can be posted here, but it would also have its place in the Red light topic.

You can also have tons of fun with a tiny Coupé:
