Angelbridge Automotives is a Confederate car manufacturer, founded on March 4, 1906, in Redemption, Exponent, and involved in car racing since 1912.
History
The Angelbridge Automotive company was founded in 1906 by Augustus Angelbridge. Iniitially a sewing machine manufacturer, Angelbridge, through the backing of a number of investors established the very first automobile plant in Hesperidesia. The very first Angelbridge car rolled off the production lines and was met with very mixed reviews, as many in the empire were unsure as to how such a new technology would fare in the dense jungle and especially during the rainy season. For several years, the company struggled to convince the population that the automobile was just as good, if not even better than the horse and buggy that was popular at the, and through a massive advertising effort combined with eye catching designs and unique vehicles members of the Imperial upper class began to pay attention. Before long, the nobility of Exponent were clamoring for newer and faster vehicles, each seeking to outdo the other as they came to realize that the horse could not hold a candle to the car when it came to getting someplace fast. In an effort to gain more widespread attention for the automobile, Augustus opened the Angelbridge Raceway in 1912 and establishing the first automobile racing league on the continent
