This concept dates back to 1917. It was called the Curtiss Limousine.
In the 1940's a few prototypes actually flew but was never mass produced.
In the 60's the US military also tried but never succeeded.
In the 70's US engineers mated a rear engined aircraft's wings and fuselage to a car which initially flew. But before it can be mass produced the poor thing collapsed on flight.
If I had the money, I'd rather stick it out with the good old Philippine jeepney! You can't go wrong!
