There are some things that are fit to be a collector’s item. Collectors can be quite quirky people, and you will be amazed at some of the stuff that is auctioned and lapped up for millions of people by avid collectors. Collection is indeed a passion, and when it comes to old planes, you have lots of people who are passionate enough to be willing to pay a lot of money for an old aircraft that has a piece of history associated with it.
One such aircraft that is likely to go on sale is the first readable aircraft that had been made by Frank Skroback way back in 1934. The desire to fly really took off in the 20th century and Skroback was able to beat everyone to the race for making a ‘flying car’. Indeed, there have been many dreamers over the years, who wanted to build such a car, and this was not just limited to sci-fi movies which featured such unique winged cars.
The Skroback flying car is scheduled to be auctioned this weekend in the city of Atlanta, Georgia. Along with the aircraft, you can buy comprehensive documents that go with it. These documents include the 1921 design patent and various pieces of correspondence to and from Skroback, even as he attempted to sell the 21t foot long aircraft back in those times.
If you are interested in buying this collector’s item, it makes sense to make some serious changes in your garage as the wing span of the aircraft is 7 feet. What is more interesting is the fact that there have been no records ever indicating that Skroback’s celebrated ‘flying car’ ever took to the air! Well, if this is a piece of info that doesn’t bother you, you can look up the auction details.
