Photo Comment
The Stout Metal Airplane Division of Ford didn't want anything to do with the Ford Flivver light aircraft. William Stout left Ford in 1930 and, complaining about a lack of progress in aviation, designed the all-metal Skycar with a 75-hp pusher engine. The sole Skycar I was not a roadable aircraft. The tail was later changed. Updated prototypes were built in the 1940s. Photo assumed taken at Detroit City Airport because of the proximity of houses.
