R. Buckminster Fuller's
Dymaxion Car

Dymaxion #2 at the National Automobile Museum in Reno, Nevada, August 2000

A patent for the vehicle was applied for in 1933, and granted in 1937. Here's more about the patent.

I went to Reno in the summer of 2000, where I visited the most excellent collection at the National Automobile Museum. They have the only known remaining Dymaxion Car, vehicle #2. Have a look.

I also have various photos and other images of the Dymaxion.
