Sign on the times

While driving back in the industrial area off Airport Rd near the Naples Airport, I spotted this relic from the past but appropriate for today in a mechanic shop parking lot. This is one of 2200-2600 electric CitiCar's manufactured in Sebring, FL by Sebring/Vanguard,Inc.

This electric car was the dream of Bob Beaumont, who worked tirelessly to bring it to fruition. That story is the base for the book "The Lost Cord", written by Barbara E. Taylor.

I'll let you know if I see this car on the streets. Until then, keep an eye out for these popping up around your town.

If you have any stories about this car, please post a comment.

Thanks for coming to my blog.
