Taylor Aerocar I

American inventor Moulton Taylor's dream of a 'roadable aircraft' saw construction of a series of novel, but largely impracticable vehicles over 20 years, none of which reached series production. Taylor's Aerocar I flew in 1949 but was not certified until 1956. Six were built, followed by a non-roadworthy version called the Aero-Plane and finally the definitive Aerocar III in 1968. The Aerocars were essentially small, lightweight cars with detachable conventional light aircraft wings and an unusual Y-tail with a pusher propeller. (from http://avia.russian.ee/)

Inside the Aerocar I (both paint schemes). They didn't come with many gauges, nothing like seat-of-your-pants flying!

Now with back-lit gauges for better night flying.
