The Saga of Windwagon Smith is an animated Disney cartoon which was originally theatrically released on March 16, 1961.
Synopsis
Windwagon Smith blows into town with a strange contraption: a Conestoga wagon outfitted with a wind sail. The town fathers figure that since a small windwagon does so well, a big one must do better. They set out to build one (while Smith woos the mayor's daughter) and launch it on its maiden voyage to very unexpected results.
