It's a car, it's a plane...actually, it's a combination of both and the one-of-a-kind Aero Car will be ready for takeoff as part of a special Art Car display during the April 7-10 Food Lion AutoFair at Lowe's Motor Speedway.
The Aero Car has been handcrafted by aviation enthusiast and former pilot Dave Major of Benton, Kan. Based on a 1959 BMW 600, Major's unique Aero Car features a handmade propeller, wings, a vertical tail stabilizer and working aircraft instruments.
"My Aero Car keeps me flying a little bit," said Major, who recently hung up his wings after 25 years of recreational flying.
