Re: Airborne Automotive [Leave feedback, please]
Sorry that I didn't posted any information about our company here, but we had much work with developing some of our cars. We also have some great, but some bad news. But, we want to present you something that we found in our museum.
1961 Airborne Cherry
The Cherry was a car that defined the lightweight roadster definition and was made after Austin Sprite and Lotus Seven success. In our company we always tried to get to everyone and we want still to be the all-ways company with producing cars with sports claws.
Anyway, the car was pretty unique. It weighted 609 kilos and was very safe for it's period at the same time. It was powered by small Inline 4 engine producing 76 PS. The power was transferred through the, unusual for us, 3-speed manual gearbox to rear wheels. Unlike Seven, the Cherry was pretty comfortable. And I must say, we call the museum one "Yaymobile", because of pretty happy looks. It resembled Austin Sprite pretty much, but we didn't had problems with it. The Cherry was offered to 1965 in some colors: Red, Purple (like you see), Yellow, Airborne White and Black.
BTW. Don't care that the car in some shots weights 612 kilos; we just need to replace our calculating machines because they're doing mistakes. On machines (which are 100% correct) of RZ Motors, our sub-company (these guys created Orbit for example back in '09) it showed 609 kilos.






Names
We also have second problem; one maniac paparazzi broke in the night to the company, stole the planned model tree and published the info to the internet. The names are: Streetlight, Hellhound, Digamma, Gamma, S310, Beta 2K15 and Chimera Speed 12. This guy's already imprisoned, but, we can't lie to you. We plan some new cars to fit up our offer. The paparazzi discovered also hidden Chimera S12 prototype and we still want to give these photo from him. Maybe we can publish it sometime.
Second by the way: Want to see the car that started our company in 1947? (itself Airborne Automotive was registered and confirmed in 1948, but the company existed from 1947).
About Cherry and this problem, tell me what do you think!
