I believe they were called Vert-a-packs and they were used only for the Chevy Vega.
The autos had to have special baffles and such so the fluids didn’t leak out.
A boxcar can hold 130 tons so loading them vertically is more efficient shipping wise.
I’ve never seen one but the old timers used to talk about them.
Nice shootin' Tex.Got me a nice grey fox tonight!
Damn small target at 150ish yds
And because of you, I was looking at a lever action 32 special at Cabelas today. Nearly did it. Told my wife to make it a b-day gift.

A lil’ titanium bluing in the morning. Akro Evo for the KTM. First ride with it. Stupidly easy install.
I've never heard of this concept plane.
Why? Because Merica!
Seeing that thing taking off or flying overhead would be a spectacular site.

Not old enough to remember it in person, but did have them as a case study in an engineering class. As mentioned above it was only with the Vega. But due to their vertical orientation while shipping, they ran into a lot of oil starvation issues unloading them and blew quite a few of them up before they refined the process. It was right up there with the unlined aluminum block they used on the early ones.
Also reminds me of another oil starvation issue-
I've seen the modified Boeing 747 Dreamlifter that's made to carry the fuselage of the 787 a few times and it's incredible to see. It looks like it's just floating at a stand-still and is absolutely massive. This concept would dwarf that plane.
Closed schools..
