Box #5 posted a link to the rebuilding efforts of the old chassis; beautiful work being done! Somewhere in there was a plaque from the vehicle stating the vehicle would go 40 miles at 13 mph. Amazing isn't it that at one hundred and eleven years later we have the Chevrolet Volt that can also go about 40 miles on electric power; however, at between 30 and 55 mph. Progress? I suppose I should mention the Tesla Automobile and its fantastic Energy Pack (they have three)...the least expensive will move their new sedan 160 miles on a charge! Next up will go 230 miles and the top of the line battery pack will operate the car 300 miles on a single charge. The car is priced from $50K to $77K depending on the battery pack chosen.JimsLeadCommander

It would take them a proverbial week to get that car from South Bend to Chicago on that truck, given its speed and range. BPWe've got to quit saying, "How stupid can you be?" Too many people are taking it as a challenge.

Oh yes -- sounds like the superb first adventure of the Repo Man! All the real automotive advances were in finance, and there is a downside.
My dad can remember the construction of the street he now lives on, about 1926. Crushed stone was hauled in by electric dump trucks. They did not work a full day, as they had to head back to a depot to recharge. Sorry I can't report what make they were, but dude, he was four years old. His memories of the next year, when he was five, are much more detailed. A guy flew somewhere in an airplane. It was kind of a big deal.
