The marketing linked to the beautiful Pan Am Clipper in Kubrick's 2001 A Space Odyssey.

It all reminds me of the connections between Gerry Anderson's Century 21 and 2001 A Space Odyssey, which we've covered many times on the blog such as Scoop's https://projectswordtoys.blogspot.com/2022/01/2001-meets-century-21.html
It also recalls the hovercraft ride first prize of a Project SWORD campaign, whereby kids could design a new SWORD vehicle, a campaign which never happened I don't think. It was first posted by the Philosophic Toad in 2012 in MC https://projectswordtoys.blogspot.com/2012/05/tuppence-hapenny-to-neverwas-avin-u.html
Have you come across a good transport marketing gimmick?
