compared to it's modern counterparts that's a thing of beauty! looks like a good starting point when all the junk on the top and the sides is shaved off.

that said it doesn't have a basic teardrop shape but rather rounded ends that works on the front, but it's less ideal at the back (think VW beetle).

this makes me wonder however...if you'd saw a Dymaxion in half and add a center section, limmo style, what would happen to the Cd?
