That's what I want my Arcimoto FUV to look like. Lap-straked aluminum.
With a Cyclopean heaadlight, and Indian-style fenders in aluminum.

Which car museum? Numbers One and Two were totalled.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dymaxi...totype_history
There exist two replicas, Sir Norman Foster's and Lane Museum's.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dymaxion_car#Replicas
Dymaxion Four (that last one) is a concept that was never built

The only 2 problems were rear wheel steering and a trike layout with the engine weight in the back.
