Autodynamics was an American automotive manufacturer based in Marblehead, Massachusetts, that operated from approximately 1963 to 1972. The company was primarily known for producing Formula Vee race cars, which contributed to its reputation in the motorsport community. Under the leadership of Ray Caldwell, Autodynamics also ventured into the production of street vehicles.

One of the notable products of Autodynamics was the Deserter dune buggy, which gained popularity during its time. The company also introduced a sports car kit named the Husder in 1967. This kit was designed to resemble a mildly restyled Lotus Elan and was built on a Volkswagen Beetle floorpan. The Husder kit was well-engineered and allowed for the installation of various engines, including those from Volkswagen, Porsche, and Corvair. It was sold exclusively in kit form, catering to enthusiasts who preferred to assemble their vehicles.
