Eric Zausner was a regular at Katie's Cars & Coffee, as soon as he moved back to the area from San Francisco, around 2013. Eric had a long history with interesting cars - I was told he was an avid Ferrari collector for a while, while living on the west coast. Before he moved back to Maryland, he returned to his first love - customs and hot rods. He collaborated with custom builder Steve Moal on several projects. The first we saw at Katie's was the 'Torpedo', a red roadster with cycle fenders and an ostrich leather interior, powered by a Ferrari F550 Maranello V12.
Other Zausner-Moal collaborations he brought to Katie's included the black '34 Zephyr, with a Buick V8, and the silver '34 Ford Victoria, with a Falconer 800hp V12, which was also used in airplanes and boats.
The Aerosport has an interior inspired by WWII-era military planes:
