We bought this odd little vehicle for several reasons.

1: It's clean...no gas, no oil changes.

2: It ends up being cheaper in the long run ( especially with the
outrageous gas prices we Americans are forced to pay ).

3: It's fun to drive.

4: It's different!

For the past 20 years... Ad-Libs has strived to be just a little different... both on and off the stage.  Keeping with that goal, may we present to you the 3-wheeled, fully electric Ad-Libs Sparrow.

We bought ours used with about 3000 miles on it.  A couple in California had it posted for sale on their web site.  They needed to free up some cash to purchase their first home.   Fortunately for us, we stumbled across their web site right after they posted it for sale and caged it for ourselves.

It's called a Corbin Sparrow.  Origionally manufactured in California by Corbin Motors, the company filed Chapter 7 in 2003 for various reasons.  They only managed to churn out about 300 of these babies (the Ad-Libs Sparrow is #183).  In June, 2004 Myers Motors bought the rights to the Sparrow and once again the Sparrow took flight.
