Flying Ford Pinto! The AVE Mizar showed that the Ford Pinto was just as dangerous in the air as it was on the ground. A prototype crashed in 1973 killing its inventor: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AVE_Mizar

After a Sex Change, Build a Car… The 1970s were marked by fuel shortages and many Americans went from driving big cars to wanting smaller ones. A new company was born touting a 3-wheel sports vehicle that would get 70MPG. Geraldine Charmichael founded the 20th Century Motor Car Corporation. She claimed to be the wife of a NASA structural engineer. In reality she was on the run from the FBI on forgery charges. The reason they couldn’t catch her is because she was really a he. On the run from police a Jerry Dean Michael had undergone sex reassignment surgery to become Geraldine. Now, after collecting 3 million dollars from investors to build the car, she went into hiding. Eventually arrested, she was bailed out by a news agency for the exclusive rights to her story. But she ran again and was never caught.

clapperdudgeon: A bizarre scene as a 1976 Lincoln limo carries a huge portrait of Kim Jong-il during the funeral procession. Many things could be said about this. But boy, this is one sad day for Ford.
