 |  | Brougham |
The Detroit Electric car was built by the Anderson Electric Car Company and subsequently the Detroit Electric Car Company from 1907 to 1932. Another fifteen cars were assembled until 1939 along with some refurbished cars. During the entire period, 12,690 cars were produced, of which only 1,450 were built after 1920 as electrics dropped from fashion. The cars had an advertised range of 80 miles between charges. Top speed was only 20 mph which was considered adequate for city driving. Women were the primary customers.
This B 95 Brougham has spent many years in museums, including the Sloan Museum in Flint, Michigan. It is one of only 48 Detroit Electrics built with the Roth brothers motor rather than the Elwell Parker motors typically used. Only three are known to survive.

It powered industrial machinery, ships and railroad locomotives. It was only natural that steam was used to power early automobiles. The most famous of these was the Stanley (shown above) but another well-known steam car was built in Cleveland—the White—and Locomobile began as a steam car. In all, more than 200 vintage and classic American and E...[Read more...] |
