ERA 289 FIA: A crowd pleaser even in raw fiberglass

[Dangerous Doug]

Bob, et al at ERA:

I'm driving my ERA 289 FIA unpainted, and the reaction I get from everyone is astounding. "Beautiful car! "Cool ride!" "Is that an original?" And, usually from 17-18 year old girls, "I love you!"

ERA puts out a beautiful product. I was at Apple today, meeting tkb_289 for lunch. I ended up taking a lot longer for my lunch so I could answer all the questions from the gathering crowd.

Which leads me to a question: Do you guys have any small color brochure that I can throw into the trunk of my car and provide to people? If not, you're missing an outstanding opportunity for free advertising.

Also, a world-reknown vintage race car restorer working locally had an opportunity to scrutinize my car. He looked the body over very carefully for about 10 minutes, then commented, "This fiberglass work is excellent. There are no stress cracks after what, 1500 miles? It's also very accurate."

I should point out that this vintage car restorer previously owned one of six original 289 FIA's...

Kudos,
