Just saw this on FB Marketplace Lexington Ohio. Buckminster Fuller Tribute Vehicle:

Looks like they didn't get the full blueline:

The drawings are supposedly on file at Harvard. Maybe they didn't want to associate?

If I remember correctly and there is no guarantee of that -
the Owls Head Museum on Maine has one. I try to dig up a jpeg.
The old (fabulous) Harrah's Museum outside of Reno ?? also has one in the early 1970's but that memory has even more holes in it.
Incidentially for the 2,000 + cars Harrah had on display only 3 were Corvette - John Waynes 1953 and a no name 1963 Coupe (missing antenna & some rear split moldings). It was a National Treasure - but Holiday inn bought his hotels, casinos and museum + then sold off 99 % of the cars. It took me 3 whole days to photo just about everything on display. Still have 2 large photo albums close to if not more than 6 inches thick. Would love to out them online but my time is short.

He use to helicoper into Carlisle with a crew each with lists of parts needed for restoration. RIP,
