Atlanta start-up to make cars just for cops

[4phun]

A home-grown Atlanta automobile company will announce Wednesday orders for its first 10,000 police cars. Now, it just needs a place to build them. Carbon Motors Corp., the brainchild of former Ford executive William Santana Li, aims to build the first car designed only for law enforcement. He said the company is considering five states, including Georgia, for the site of a plant that would employ 1,500 people. A 520-acre site in Hall County, near Braselton, is Georgia's offering. Li said production would start in 2012.
