Dude, Where’s My Dymaxion Car?

No, I’m not talking about the movie, Dude, Where’s My Car?. I’m talking about a Dymaxion Car. Today I was alerted to an online art gallery titled, The Future We Were Promised. It features the art of Arthur Radebaugh who was an artist for the automotive industry in Detroit during the 1930’s and 1960’s. When I saw the first image on this page (top-left on the menu) I immediately thought of Buckminster Fuller’s Dymaxion car. By today’s standards it is not a very sexy automobile, but it could haul a lot of stuff and got 50 mpg. Who needs an electric-gas hybrid car when you can have a Dymaxion Car?
