    I could see that thing all polished up. Who needs a pull vehicle when your Airstream has its own power.

    i dont know what it is, but does it have two front wheels or one. i cant tell. it seems like something that would fit right in in a lowrider magazine. all it needs is an antenna with a fox tail on it.

  13. Hey, that looks just like the aircraft mock up I jumped out of way back when I was going through jump school. These things were made to look kinda like an old cargo plane and was some 20' off the ground. You jumped out of the with a harness hooked to you.

  16. I saw that on the History Channel about the history of the automobile back when the space age was going on. I think it was mid-30's.
    And then I could be wrong:D

    In the 1930s there were few of that type of "car" being built on old
    Ford frames. One was the Dymaxion by Buckminster Fuller and others followed with their own versions. Saw one in Fairborn,Ohio at a body shop. The guy said it wes an Elliotte or something like that COOL

    I believe the only Dymaxion is sitting at the National Auto Museum in Reno, its windows are painted over because the interior is missing.

    I wonder what the rear end on this car was supposed to look like, it appears to be missing.
     
  20. I think I have a photo of Art Himsl (sp) at Paso with his, but my scanner is dead!
