Original Toronto Star caption: A fledgling builder of hovercraft; Weston Air Cushion Vehicles of Toronto is having trouble finding sufficient funds to go into production. The firm has orders for 100 of the vehicles; one of which is shown here on the shore of Lake Ontario getting ready for tests; but so far has been unable to raise $400;000 needed to go into mass production. The three-seater model travels at 30 m.p.h. over land and water and is powered by a Volkswagen engine.
