The Lady And The Dale - A 3-wheeled Documentary

[Sside67]

Describes mystery, fraud, and failure, so is completely different from Elio, except for the 3-wheeler which gets 70mpg.

The Lady and the Dale - the film traces the story of Elizabeth Carmichael, who rose to prominence when she released a fuel-efficient three-wheeled vehicle during the 1970s gas crisis. As she wins over major carmakers and investors, a web of mystery unfolds regarding the car’s technology and Carmichael’s surprising past. A portrait of an extraordinary entrepreneur’s rise and eventual fall, the series explores a one-of-a-kind story of fraud, family, and identity. Premieres on HBO Jan 31, 2021

I saw a video of that plus read about it. I believe the Dale vehicle is in a museum. The car as well as the creator was not they seemed to be.

Hey, if Paul is following in those footsteps, maybe he's getting a sex change so we won't recognize him when he shows his face again?

The one hour Dale documentary was very interesting and well done.
I lived through that period but had totally forgotten about it.

No Dales were ever produced and owned by the public.
There were only a few prototypes built.
Three-wheeled, cost less than $2,000, 70 miles per gallon.
Uh oh. Sound familiar?
