Hi Everyone, I found some interesting information on Wikipedia about these Dymaxions.
The Lane's replica is even mentioned near the bottom of the article.

Some of the articles in the references section are also intriguing.
The comments about the car being unstable are totally understandable. But it seems to me the 'death trap' rap is unfortunate and possibly from shabby or sensational reporting being repeated.
Somehow it smells like there is more story behind 'Chicago South Park Commissioner' who was a party to the death of Mr. Turner.
