For those who worry about finding a parking place downtown, this art car is just the thing! In addition, you can take it easy and catch a quick take a snooze. It's economical, too; there's no need to worry about gasoline prices or maintenance.

Sulaiman Alquraishi spotted this unusual art car and decided to interview the owner. He learned a lot about it, but he never got to take a ride in it.

Dusty the Dolphin was designed by a former junior high school teacher, who is now an aircraft electrician and pilot in Wichita, Kansas. He wanted his car to look like it could fly. To convert his tiny Isetta into an aerocar, he used the tail of a real airplane.

The Flintstone car was unique, as were its occupants. It's not often you see a car like this rolling down the road!
