Are you sure they're possible? I'm not an engineer, but I'd have guessed there are still some problems to solve, like finding a means of propulsion that doesn't require huge landing pads, and controls that the average car driver could learn and master in a reasonably short period of time.
How broad is your classification of a "car?" If it's fairly broad, then helicopters can reasonably be said to be flying cars. They require landing pads, but not necessarily "huge" ones depending on the type of helicopter, and one can earn a helicopter license with 40 hours of practical training.
Most people's models of "flying cars," for whatever reason, seem to entail no visible method of attaining lift though. By that criterion we can still be said to have flying cars, but maybe only ones that are pretty lousy at flying.
