Yes, they loved the moller sky car, frankly these magazines would have been great if they just accurately caveated stage of development and leaned into a speculative "The World of Tomorrow" attitude for these types of things. As a result of NOT doing that they really poisoned people against the very idea of progress (of which we make a ton.)

I wonder if at the time the "world of tomorrow" is how we think of it now with fondness.

Yep, you nailed it.
