Hard Drivin's Airborne

 

There originally were 3 sit-down models and 5 upright models at the time Atari shut down.  One sit-down was essentially destroyed.  One upright was really early and was designed to have boards outside of the cabinet.  It was also destroyed.  There were at least 2 different upright and 2 different sit-down models.

The first set of sit-down photos probably had a motorized canopy that was converted to an open-style cabinet.  It has a paper instruction sheet on the rear, where others had a map sticker.  A later production model has a marquee where there is a round bar.

The uprights have a motorized canopy that closed around your head.  Note the 2 different seats and 2 different canopy tops.  Also 2 cabs have medium rez monitors in them and 2 have standard rez.  None of the uprights were working at the time and were using very early hardware, with hand-wired boards that had been poorly cared for.
