Also from the thirties the Dymaxion car by Buckminster Fuller:
The most interesting piece of gossip about the car:
Quote:
In his 1988 book The Age of Heretics, author Art Kleiner maintained that the real reason why Chrysler refused to produce the car was because bankers had threatened to recall their loans, feeling that the car would destroy sales for vehicles already in the distribution channels and second-hand cars.
