Our own drawings
- Side drawing of the Dymaxion car: a long teardrop body with a rounded nose, the two driven front wheels about a third of the way back, a Ford V-8 engine at the rear driving forward to them, a single small steering wheel under the tail, and a periscope on the roof.
Our own drawing - Drawing seen from above: a teardrop car with two front wheels at the wide end and one rear wheel near the tail, turned crosswise, with an arrow showing the tail swinging round while the front wheels stay put.
Our own drawing - Side drawing of the Dymaxion chassis: a long red body frame and a lower dark engine frame joined at a hinge near the front wheels, the engine on the lower frame at the back, a spring above the single rear wheel, and the body outline dashed over the top.
