Dymaxion Car

I never associated cars with the name R. Buckminster Fuller. But that was before I learned about the Dymaxion Car, which is a interesting bit of trivia for the historical car enthusiast.

Only three working prototypes were produced and each was actually driven by several owners. The cars were even involved a two accidents, one of which resulted in a fatality. Although no fault was found with the car, the negative publicity put the brakes on any further development.

There is a project underway to fully restore the only remaining example, which on display at a museum. A lack of accurate engineering information appears to be the main stumbling block.
