Now HERE is a customized VW van in the UK: [ATTACH]
Your info very much appreciated --- the Dymaxion and the McQuay-Norris have fallen by the wayside. Oldfield managed to create a 150-ft long...
Pause for reflection --- google tells me that only THREE Dymaxions were built --- is that true, and how did this version find its way to Vancouver...
So, if the photo was taken in circa 1965, the logging engineer evidently knew and appreciated its special status --- thirty+ years on. Thanks.

Here's a Kaiser --- any advances, any suggestions?

Big thanks to the experts --- back then British stock car guys loved 'Yank' cars --- big and powerful and different. Secret -- many pulled out...

Oh-oh. Someone who knows immediately just corrected me -- it is a British car, a Hillman Minx from the early Fifties.[ATTACH]
The snapshot was taken in 1957 in the UK. It is cropped, and the best I can manage from the old print. I think it is an American convertible....

Ye,a Ford Prefect, with a stormin' 1172cc 4-cyl sidevalve s
Thanks. That very slightly-domed roofline is distinctive.
