Subject: Info on dymaxion car

Hi.

My Dad owned one of the Dymaxion car’s while I was in third grade or earlier.  I was quite young.  So, it would be 1978 1979 and 1980 time frame.  This was in Kettering, OH.  And my Dad would dress it up and run it in the Kettering Holiday at Home parade or other parades.  One year, it was dressed up like a Bee with a long stinger on its nose.  Later, it was dress up as a Star Wars fighter jet with wings and our family dress up like the Star Wars characters.  We had a lot of fun with it.  My Dad later sold it.  I don’t have much on details as I was so young, but I can ask my Dad if you have questions.

I’m asking my family if anyone has any pictures of it.

I assume it would be car #3 based on what you have researched so far.  Car #3 also looks more like my Dad’s Dymaxion.

Thanks,
