The Dymaxion Car was a 1930's project heavily promoted, but not substantially designed, by futurist weirdo dome architect Buckminster Fuller. This is the Lane replica, built for an auto museum in Tennessee. Apparently the handling is terrible on cambered roads where the rear steering wheel likes to slide to the side. Also, bad in wind. Also bad at more than 35mph. Neat looking, and pleasant inside, and very much looks like a boat builder designed and built it. 3 original prototypes built, 1 remaining.

I know this exact museum, I was there a few years ago. I took a ton of pics and posted them here, in fact. This place is AI as gently caress, and I would strongly encourage anyone in this forum to go if you are ever in the Nashville area. They have tons of genuinely one of a kind survivors in this place. And (at least when I went), you were even allowed to drive some of the cars (for a donation, IIRC). https://www.lanemotormuseum.org/
