Re: A buggy for the whole family
Ah, Buckminster Fuller's Dymaxion car. I saw that in some book when we were looking for aero info while building wallaby.
The Dymaxion had a drag coefficient of .25 which is the same as the 2010 Prius and better than pretty much every other car on the road. Not bad for 1933.
