At a friends house when I was five or six I saw what I believe was a model of this car. I was alone and walked into their kitchen. There on the table was a little modern looking car of a larger scale than what I was used to and it had a white hose attached to it. So I put it in my mouth and blew. The little car moved across the table top with a little push! What fun. Wonder if the model still exists and could it be reintroduced?

I bought the model of the Ford Levicar when it came out many many moons ago and enjoyed it a lot. Sure wish I still had it! I believe Revell was the model builder. I'd surely like it to be reintroduced again, too, just as it was with the air tube in the back.

When I was ten years old I won a radio station contest (Question: Who is buried in Grants Tomb?)in Seattle. The prize was a ride in the actual Levicar. Ford had it in some sort of road show that was at the Northgate mall in Seattle. It was tethered so that it would run around about a 50' circular track at walking speed. I remember that it was fairly noisy from the air exaust. Some sites on the web claim it was Magnetic but the one I rode in was definetly air powered. When I was done with the ride they gave me one of the models that were mentioned in previous posts. Sure wish I had it now!

Ford Levаcar Mach I (Ford Levicar Mach I)

Ford Motor Co.’s Levacar Mach I appeared in the Ford Rotunda in spring 1959. A full-sized prototype, this was an one-man "flying car" that was "levitated" several inches off the ground by three powerful air jets located on the bottom of its chassis. Planned to be powered by a small-scale turbojet engine, the Levacar was purportedly designed to reach a top speed of nearly 500 mph!

Levacar Mach 1 - автомобиль будущего, придуманный компанией Ford в 1959 году. Он должен был скользить по воздуху нагнетаемому тремя двигателями под днище.
