Leva
Car
It
Floats on Air!
- Original year: 1961
- Company: AMT
- Scale: 1/20
- Designer: Ford Motor
The Levacar Mach I is designed to permit ground
travel in the 200 to 500 miles per hour range. It has no wheels but
rides instead on a thin film of air allowing it to slide rather than
roll. This, easy to assemble kit is in authentic WORKING replica of
Ford's futuristic Levacar Mach I. This model actually floats on a thin,
frictionless film of air in the same manner as the original Levacar
demonstrating the theory of levitation.

comments:
Those
engineers at Ford must have been smoking rope back in the 60s to think
this was practical. 500 MPH with no brakes? How do you stop the damn
thing? Put out an anchor? Kit has a rubber hose you blow into to levitate
the car. As in other cases, the exact description from the box is typed
in above--bad English, punctuation and all.
