This is basically the look I want to achieve with my bicycle, but with lighter weight cab materials and a road presence look from behind to make my tricycle look like an actual vehicle. Mine would be little to no passenger/luggage room so I would sit more between the rear wheels.

I think a scale model of the "Spirit of America" would really look cool.

And now kids ask if its possible to make a "flying bicycle". The achievement has been forgotten.
