November of last year, the pic on Flying Car was changed from the first pic to the second. Barring finding a pic from an actual work, I'm good to flip the pics back; the new pic is much more of a car-shaped plane than a flying car, and a lot less fitting for the trope from a visual standpoint to me. Thoughts?

The new pic looks like a generic single-passenger airplane to me. Favour reversion.

Top one.

As for an actual example, I think M.A.S.K. has a great one, though being an old cartoon, finding good images may be a little hard. Found a painting.

The new one is horrible. Swap 'em back.

Or use Chitty-chitty-bang-bang?

The Delorean in hover mode? (Back To The Future).

[up]While the Delorean certainly is good, we already have it on at least two pages. First is better.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang or old image work for me. Either one.

I like the old image best but anything besides the new image works.

Either CCBB or the original pic work for me. Crowner?

My vote's on the original pic.

Crowner sounds like a good idea.
