    Two new Ford station wagons bought by the police department are being displayed in front of city hall in Chicago. The press photo is dated August 16, 1948, and stated that these two laboratory units, one for the North side and the other for the South side will be patrolling the city. The Old Motor photo.

    Neat photos from 1958 of what I’ll call Inflato Plane. Great Idea and very portable but what about blowouts ?? It might be possible that they had a safety bladder inside, but somehow I think this idea ended up in the big trash bin of inventions somewhere.

    At least the plane would be safer than an inflateable boat. No logs or branches sticking out after takeoff.

    No Branches?

    Depends on how far you are off the ground...
