Ein Hecht der Landstraße
Aufgrund seines enormen Beschleunigungsvermögens wurde der Aero 1000 damals als „Hecht der Landstraße“ bezeichnet. Die Firma Aero wurde im Jahre 1919 in Prag-Holesovice gegründet. Zunächst wurden Flugzeuge produziert, ab dem Jahre 1929 dann auch Automobile in den verschiedensten Versionen. Man begann mit 500 ccm und 10 PS und steigerte sich stetig bis zum Aero 1000. Bis zum Jahre 1934 wurden ca. 4.000 Fahrzeuge gebaut und auch verkauft. Aber nicht nur an einer Leistungssteigerung wurde gearbeitet, sondern Modifi kationen gab es auch beim Fahrgestell und der Karosserie. So kam unter anderem eine neue, elegante Kühlermaske zum Einsatz. 67 Auch im Motorsport war das Modell vertreten. So gelang es einem Aero 1000-Piloten bei der Rallye Monte Carlo den dritten Platz in seiner Klasse zu belegen.

The last model, the Type 50, also front-wheel-drive, had a 1997 cc four-cylinder 50 PS (37 kW two-stroke engine with alloy cylinder head and was capable of reaching 78 mph (125 km/h).
After the war the company made the Type 30 until 1947. About 500 were produced with 200 going to France and 100 to Belgium. Design work had been done on a new post war range which would have had hydraulic brakes and four-speed gearboxes, but they did not go into production. Aero disappeared when the Czechoslovak motor industry was nationalised.
Racing cars
Many famous drivers won many events in Aero cars including a third in category on the 1934 Monte Carlo Rally.
