Talk:Dymaxion car

Chrysler

What possible connection could there be between Chrysler's failure to build a radical concept car in the mid-1930s (they lost their shirts on a fairly radical for its time production car, the Airflow, in the same era) and its losing market share to Toyota and Honda seven decades later? This comment is counterintuitive, and unless someone show strong reason not to, I'll be removing it soon. Rlquall 02:57, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Someone left the following comment in the article. I'm saving it on the talk page.

[Please check the length of conventional automobiles. I went to an automobile museum in Sparks Nevada which had a Dymaxion and cars from every year in the 1930's and they were all certainly more than 10 feet long. Sitting behind the wheel of the Dymaxion reminded me a lot of my 1960's Volkswagon bus -- bench seat, floor shift, rear engine, similar roof gutter, light weight. It would be a dramatic comparison on this web page to show an image of a 1932 Ford Model Y with it's running boards and 12-foot length (or a Model B, Deuce Coupe) Also, there seems to be a lot of confusion on the web about the true dimensions and capacities of the various versions of the Dymaxion, possibly aided by unsubstantiated marketing claims.]
