ERA, as in cars from another "era". The first initials of the name being also "E.R.A." a d/b/a name for International Automobile Enterprises, Inc.
Phil Gaudette, who founded the company somewhere back in the middle of the last century, had wanted to do a number of cars from the 60's including various Porsche's (904, RSK, etc.) Daytona coupe, and other Ford GT40 variants, etc. ERA had aquired much of the tooling, molds, chassis plans to do them, but sadly, (particularly from my vantage point) never got around to producing them.
Much of the stuff sat up in the rafters in the assembly shop or over in the basement of the "brown house" for decades and has been subsequently sold or disposed of. When he retired he was working on the Corvette Grand Sport and a version of the Cobra; the Ken Miles "turd".
