Grandma Duck\'s car: Detroit Electric 1916

Description: 1916 Detroit Electric in Brussels Autoworld Museum. Showroom sign: "The special feature of this car is that both the bonnet and boot spaces were used to carry batteries used to propel the car. The 'Brougham' body was typical of American electric cars, which were appreciated in city use for being clean and quiet, and were highly valued for social events such as parties, galas, theatr evisits, etc." Has the car industry really learned anything since then?
