Default That Brings to Mind a Story...

Looking at my ID Plate, and how it says "E.R.A. --- ERA REPLICA AUTOMOBILES," I had a fella come up to me last summer at a show and ask "Is that an eee-rah?" And at first I didn't understand him, but it was soon cleared up and I told him that I usually hear it pronounced E. R. A., but "Yes, it is." But when looking at the name, I guess you can call it an eee-rah, since it has ERA right thar in the title, and maybe 25 years ago it was called that as well. Maybe it's called that now. I don't know. I don't know how they chose the name either, but I bet Jim H. does.
