Throwback Thursday: The Vector

It was 1992 when we dropped into Vector Aeromotive in California to meet Gerald "Jerry" Wiegert and his creation, the Vector. The following year Jerry was fired by the board. He did not take it very well, ended up changing the locks, hired armed guards and locked himself in the building refusing to go.
Many years later he got back trademarks, copyrights etc and actually showed a prototype of a Vector at the 2008 Los Angeles auto show.
The company is now known as Vector Motors Corporation, Wiegert also founded Aquajet.
