Ray Caldwell created Autodynamics in 1962. His first FVee (D1-Mark I) was ready for the 1964 SCCA season, and Caldwell drove it to a SCCA national championship. He utilized a Volkswagen 1200cc (1192 cc) engine, 4-speed transmission with trailing link front suspension and rear swing axle. The body was constructed from fiberglass and rested on a space frame chassis.In 1967, the D-4 was introduced, and it had a new chassis design and improved suspension components.
