The Dymaxion’s most striking feature was its unconventional layout: a three-wheeled design with two wheels in the front for propulsion and a single rear wheel for steering. Powered by a Ford V8 engine mounted in the rear, it could reach speeds around 90 mph and promised excellent fuel economy for its time. The aircraft-inspired shape, complete with pontoon fenders and wraparound windows, allowed for smoother airflow and reduced drag, showcasing Fuller’s obsession with efficiency. It could seat up to eleven passengers in its bubble-like cabin, promising a futuristic approach to urban and family transportation."

of chemistry involving the study of fullerenes.

Someone tried to make a 2 door Falcon mock up out of an import 2 door Fairlane. :spew:
(I actually like those 2 door Fairlanes from USA.)
