Thanks for the pics. They let you keep it you dog? Nice. Now you must scan the whole book and put it in PDF format and host it.

The Kamm tail on that RX-500 is ugly. A very interesting looking car.

I know this thread is quite old, but came across this site which has several more images of the proposed RX-500 during the 1970's. The images in the previous posts above seem to be deleted, so here is the link below.

Actually, I much prefer the RX-7 than the RX-500, however if the tail of the RX-500 was improved, it may have been a really great looking rotary!
