The April 25, 1950 Yuma Daily Sun (Yuma, AZ) ran this picture of Moulton Taylor’s “Aerocar” which could be converted into an airship “even by a woman, without soiling her gloves.” So easy, a woman could do it!

“AEROCAR” HITS THE ROAD – With its wings folded back against the fuselage, his flying auto is ready to cruise down the highway at 50 miles an hour. According to its Longview, Calif., designer, the airship can be converted to the auto “even by a woman, without soiling her gloves.”
