Tail hopping 1986 Ferrari 308GTB of Tony Worswick./ Usually rallied in Europe on Tarmac events, it was well suited to the Race Retro stage. The unusual part was that as it took the ‘yump’ every time, the rear of the car would catapult high in to the air, leaving the car in a nose down position. Not unusual if the engine were in the front, but the Ferrari is a mid-engine configuration! via: http://www.sportscardigest.com/rally-stage-2010-race-retro-report-photo-gallery/

Where is my flying platform? The damn things were perfected in 1956... what happened to them?

Hey! It's got wheels, and therefore I'm not compromising my standards! Who knew I could stretch an "Anything cool with wheels" philosophy so far and wide?

You'll notice the interesting tanker in the lower left corner, must have been detached from a semi truck?


from the LIFE archives.
For the other flying saucers that they made in the 1950's look at these three http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/02/proof-that-man-can-design-flying.html
