Elio Addict
Another thread on Facebook prompted me to do a patent search to see Paul Elio had patented the Elgin dash design. I couldn't find anything to support that. I did find, however, a number of patents relating to Paul. The man is prolific. Since his pre-Elio Motors background was in car seats, I guess it's not surprising to see a number of patents relating to car seats, rails, armrests, and recliner designs. However, I was pleasantly surprised to see the newer patents relate to side impact protection. Seems like the man has given a lot of thought to the Elio drivers' safety, as he has often said.
