    ^^^ from the man who brought us the geodesic dome, R. Buckminster Fuller.
    The one above might be (???) a 'recreation' of an original Dymaxion, but I am not at all sure about that. It looks a little too harmonius based on the images I've seen (e.g., the curved windscreen glass).

    Another Dymaxion sighting that always amused me, as seen on the back cover of the first WB money-grubbing Grateful Dead "Best of" album, Skeletons from the Closet.

    Actually it’s a 429CJ.

    I would have been between 18-19 and recently married.
    2 channel: Anthem 225 Integrated amp; Parasound Ztuner; TechnicsTT SL1350; Vincent PHO-8 phono pre; Marantz CD6005 spinner; Polk SDA2BTL's; LAT International speaker cables, ZU Mission IC's and power cables all into a PS Audio Dectet Power center.

    Other; M10 series II, M7C's, Hafler XL600 amp, RB-980BX, Parasound HCA-1500 amp , P5 preamp, all in storage. All vintage Polk have had crossover rebuilds and tweeter upgrades.

    The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

    It is imperative that we recognize that an opinion is not a fact.

    Imagine making politics your entire personality.

    I'd bet there was a multi-million dollar study funded by our GOV. to determine that outcome. >:)

    Nice looking car. Back in the 90s when I met my 2nd wife I bought her a 1986-7 Buick Regal (Presidential model with the canvas top & side lights that came on when lights were on) it had a Buick 307 in it. I had put air shocks on back. Raised it as pictured. Glass pack exhaust that sounded sweet. New chrome wheels. Tad wider tires on rear. Sold it off for a new vehicle. Wish I still had it.... Not pictured was my 1984 Firebird. The Dodge in picture I dropped a 318 in it with a automatic tranny & new wheels n tires. Clean Cali truck. I enjoyed muscle cars growing up in the 70's

    This is a F150 I had in the mid 80s. I put bucket seats in it & console with standard shift on floor (granny low geared) 300 6 banger. Had a paint job done by friend with a tiger ripping out of side of truck. Added some chrome wheels n new tires & new stereo system that rocked. Then I sold it to my brother & took this picture & came across this picture years later. If it wasn't for the dygmhbctohv5.png
    6 banger I wouldn't have sold it
