Contrary to popular belief, electric cars existed before ones that ran off of oil and were (at one point in time) more popular. Of course, the standard has shifted today, but it’s interesting to see such a “relic” run just as great as it did almost 100 years ago.
Those wondering if this car has been modified from it’s original design are right. Obviously, this car has been through some repairs in the last 90 years or so in it’s life. The fact still remains, though, that this car was electric when it was manufactured in the 1910’s.
Up until oil was found in Texas in 1920, many investors back in the early 20th century were betting that the standard would be electric. Considering the decline of gas consumption today, it looks like they’ll be right in the long run- but it seems that we still have a bunch of years to achieve that standard.
