It probably wouldn't be too hard to put casters or maybe some nylon skids
on the bottom of the car body, so you could at least shove it into a
corner when you're not using it. By careful selection of paint and trim,
it can be made to look as little like a car body as you want.

There's a guy at a nearby airport (Vashon Muni) that has a DC-3 cockpit on
rollers. The cabin was cut out just under the cockpit floor to the limits of
the front windshield and side windows. Nothing (else) has been done with it
yet, but I was surprised at how compact the package was.

When I went to Space Camp a few years back, we got to fly PC-based simulators
from dummy fighter cockpits with the monitor image displayed in front using a
digital projector. Was surprisingly effective...you had enough image in your
peripheral vision. Similar trick would be cool with the DC-3 cockpit, too...
