The Air Car (also called "Space Craft") is a do-it-yourself hovercraft that can be built "in a weekend". It has been extensively advertised in the back of Boys' Life magazine.
There are four different Air Car models; the third design has been copied many times. The power source is the blower motor from a "cylinder" or "tank type" vacuum cleaner The "Typical Tank Type Vacuum" illustrated is an Electrolux XXX - one of the most popular vacuums between the 1930s and 1950s.
