Detroit Electric
The Detroit Electric car was produced by a company that operated in Detroit, MI, under several different names between 1907 and 1938: Anderson Carriage Co. (1907-1910), Anderson Electric Car Co. (1911-1918), and Detroit Electric Car Co (1919-1938). Production was more than 1000 cars per year into the mid-teens, but demand and production dropped in the 1920s, and only special orders were made after 1935.
