Remembering Bruce Meyers Courtesy John Dinkel
We lost Bruce Meyers. Yes, the Meyers with the S at the end of his name. The Meyers who designed the legendary Meyers Manx dune buggy, one of the most iconic, most recognizable, most fun and most copied designs in the history of the automobile. The Meyers who was famous for leaping tall sand dunes with a single bound and running through the esses at places like Pikes Peak. Yes, that Meyers. Related Stories
