"The AVE Mizar (named after the star), was built in 1971 by Henry Smolinski. The flying car was a true hybrid, with the front half modeled on a Ford Pinto and the back half consisting of a Cessna Skymaster plane."

Pinto had a bad habit of blowing up in rear end collisions .....hence the prop placement!
