| Description |
1937 Airomobile Following the closure of the Franklin Automobile Company in 1934, former Franklin engineers Carl Doman and Edward Marks organized their own firm to develop a new air-cooled engine. Paul Lewis of Denver, Colorado conceived the idea for this futuristic car in the early 1930's and in 1936, contracted with Doman and Marks to build a prototype. Working with an aerodynamically styled model created by John Tjaarda, designer of the Lincoln Zephyr, construncted began on the unusual three-wheeled front-drive Airomobile and it was pronounced road-ready in April, 1937. The Airomobile prototype dispalyed here was driven more than 45,000 miles throughout the United States in a promtional effort to raise production capital. While the Airomobile proved itself a technical success by performing credibly at speeds of up to 80 mph and averaging 43.6 miles per gallon of fuel. financial backing was not forthcoming.
