FLYING CANOE TAKES AUTO INDUSTRY BY SURPRISE
After decades of auto manufacturers heel dragging
over the advent of the flying car, the first
flying canoe soared off the assembly line to
the cheers of tire kickers below.
"The Voyageurs once travelled this great land
by canoe", said company President Jacques LeBoeuf,
"now we can paddle the skies!"

I told the missus back in '76 that had Lee Iococca focused more on the birch bark car body we'd all be driving tough bodied automobiles and not the tin cans they were selling us suckers. I'd buy one of these canoe flyers. They are built to last. You can see it. But would it hurt to add a sexy dame in a bikini to drive the message home?

Was that Bonhomme down there?
Wow. All the celebrities were out.

Well John, Iacocca got the fake wood on the side of the Dodge Caravan right, but he was afraid to go the whole nine yards.
RCD: of course it takes a native of La belle province to pick Bonhomme out of a crowd.
