The CW-1 Junior, developed by Curtiss-Wright in 1930, is a light sports model that was intended to sell for about the same price as a mid-range car. Unfortunately, the engine liked to throw cylinders, made worse due to the plane having a pusher propeller, but some models were being flown by collectors into the 2000s.
