Mizar flying car
Convinced that man should be able to fly just as easily as drive a car, inventor Henry Smolinski strapped the wings and tail of a Cessna aircraft to a Ford Pinto. During a 1973 test flight in California, the Pinto broke free from its contraption and plunged to the earth, killing both Smolinski and his passenger. At least the Pinto wasn’t struck from behind.
