Happy Wednesday. Have a Bryan Autoplane.

Leland “Dewey” Bryan, a resident of Milford, Michigan, built three versions of his hybrid car/plane, or “roadable.” I believe this is the two-seat Version III, which was powered by a Continental A75 engine and used Chevy Corvair convertible top motors to fold the wings. Bryan died in 1974 during a demonstration at Oshkosh when one of the wings broke off.
