Rooted in an illustrious history of automotive design, Aldino Car Company stands as a testament to innovation and engineering excellence in the realm of kit cars. Initially introduced by Joe Palumbo in the mid-1980s, the Aldino K/O became an instant classic, thanks to its unique fiber fabricated sports car design. Showcased for the first time in Auto Buyer Magazine, the Aldino K/O was heralded as a "well-conceived effort" and predicted to be a collector's delight. The Aldino K/O's design takes inspiration from iconic models like the Koenig Ferrari Boxer, Lamborghini Countach, Testarossa, and Corvette. Production began on June 1, 1989, in Brookfield, Wisconsin. This innovative kit car stood out for its integration of the Fiero chassis, simplifying the assembly process and eliminating the complications often encountered in DIY kit projects. Joe Palumbo's impressive resume extends beyond the Aldino K/O. Known for his original design, the Cimbria, Palumbo also served as the chief engineer for the Viper 2000 and even designed the Enterra and the Muhammad Ali 3WC Car. The Aldino K/O represents over two decades of design and engineering mastery from Palumbo. In August of 2002, Richard and Ellen Lichte purchased the molds and manufacturing rights for the Aldino body panels. Richard, with over 30 years of experience in the automotive field, previously served at the Excalibur Automobile Corporation and possesses significant expertise in automotive restoration and refinishing. The high-quality fiberglass components for the Aldino K/O are currently produced by Fiber-Tech Incorporated. With a stellar reputation spanning fifteen years, Fiber-Tech's craftsmanship can be traced back to the original Cimbria, as Dale Rodgers, the owner of Fiber-Tech, built the fiberglass components for that model in the mid-1970s. Reintroduced with its original molds, the Aldino K/O continues to maintain high standards in design and engineering quality. Joe Palumbo works closely with the current owners to ensure the integrity of the original design is upheld. With a proven track record and a mission to deliver quality at a reasonable price, the Aldino Car Company invites you to partake in this automotive marvel. Experience the excitement of owning an original Aldino Kit and discover the future of kit car excellence.
