Looks like I posted this image before, Post #2586.

Not getting the Aerofiat link to work though, none of the 2018 links work, getting 404 notices.

Did a search, seems like some of Alain Bublex's work is real, although others are of the imagination awaiting realization.

Did a translate on part of this article below:
https://www.auto-reverse.com/aerofiats/
Quote:
Flying a 500 kg car, powered by a sluggish 600 Cm3 twin-cylinder. And yet, many Aerofiats models have succeeded each other, each winning a new victory over the elements and preconceptions. This dream of a different future comes from designer Alain Bublex.

With a whole series of documents, photos of the car tests, technical plans and others, we end up wanting to believe that these cardboard appendages are real and that this Aerofiat, with a simple kick of the starter, will take to the air. Trained in automotive design, Alain Bublex began his career in the early 1990s. His first work was the creation of a fictional city, GLOOSCAP.
The link above used in the translation also says "aerofiats" in the ending. Guess they reorganized their content and changed servers or something.

EDIT:

One of the guys at Pelican posted this link.
