I had the great good fortune to see one of these (perhaps this car, not sure where this is from) near Milwaukee, WI a few years ago. A friend of mine in the area knew the owner, who has several very unique collectible vehicles, and took me for a visit. Around the same period this car was built, R. Buckminster Fuller ("Bucky" Fuller), who conceived the Geodesic Dome, built a similar car called the Dymaxion. It also was powered by a rear mounted flathead Ford V8. Ray
