Dymaxion Restorations

According to Hemmings Auto Blogs, Crosthwaite and Gardiner, one of England’s most renowned restoration houses, has been entrusted with the restoration of Dymaxion No. 2, the only known surviving iteration of Buckminster Fuller’s streamlined automobile dream. They've also been tasked with the re-creation of Dymaxion No. 3, a car last seen in the 1950s.

Here's a video shot off a screen at the Ford Museum of the Dymaxion in action. The curly-haired woman in the back seat at 0:28 is Emelia Earheart who was interested in purchasing a Dymaxion.
