I don’t think they ever left the ground. “Flying” was a marketing thing to try to capitalise on the mid 30s beetleback styling, and rid the cars of a rather stodgy image. By 1945 it was all really rather passé, and the cars had lost, or were losing, their streamlined shapes. The prewar cars were forced to carry on in production until the Vanguard was ready.
