On the surface, these two vehicles could not be more different. And yet, each of these aerial automobiles had attributes that mirrored one another.
The Whiz Wagon was a flying five-seater jalopy commissioned by the clone of Morgan Edge, a pawn of the sinister Darkseid, based on Apokolips technology. Crafted by the young Big Words, a member of the Newsboy Legion, this vehicle would be used by the Legionnaires and their frequent partner Jimmy Olsen in a series of Earth-One adventures. Its computi-pilot likely had its artificial intelligence based on the New Genesis' Mother Box devices.
The Atomobile was a revolutionary design crafted by teenage boy-genius Percy Clearwater. One of the newest recruits for the Boy Commandos, Percy opened up areas of exploration for his new teammates. Seeking to develope a vehicle that could traverse multiple environments, from the depths of the ocean to the vastness of space, Percy invented an aero-car / submarine / spacecraft, which his team used on some adventures. Perhaps this vehicle was the inspiration for Al "The Atom" Pratt's later Atomobile.
