Bruce Meyers, inventor of the dune buggy, dead at 94
"Meyers, who first christened his invention the Meyers Manx, died at his home in San Diego earlier this month after building thousands of the light weight fiberglass cars that had only enough space in the back for a surfboard and a beer.
... a commercial artist, lifeguard and passionate surfer, also designed boats and surfboards. He built a trading post in Tahiti and survived a Japanese attack on his Navy aircraft carrier during the Second World War, in which 400 of his fellow sailors were killed.
...Born in Los Angeles, he was a high school drop-out, who served in the Merchant Marines after the war and attended the Chouinard Art Institute, now the California Institute of the Arts."
