This rare 1907 Columbia Park Surrey, formerly of the Henry Ford Museum, beautifully showcases the luxury of early electric cars in their prime. It is the only known Park Surrey extant, and is in fully functioning condition. Since its restoration in 1990, it has seen only display use - but in its day it was 'unequaled....for all of the varied requirements of private carriage service.'
The comfort of their interior, coupled with elliptical spring suspension and freedom from 'all noise, odor and vibration,' made Columbia electric cars especially attractive. One could purchase a brand new 1970 Columbia Surrey for $1,500 - $1,700 and be provided with a full complement of tools. By comparison, gasoline cars would sell for about half that price or less, contributing to the eventual demise of the electric car.
The Columbia name disappeared in 1913 but lives on with this stylish 1907 Park Surrey.
