The Convair Model 118 ConvAirCar (also known as the Hall Flying Automobile) was a prototype flying car of which two were built. Intended for mainstream consumers two prototypes were built and flown. The first prototype was lost after a safe but damaging low fuel incident; consequently the second prototype was rebuilt from the damaged aircraft and flown although little enthusiasm remained for the project and the program ended shortly after.
