This book is amazing. Reality is more 'out there' than Steam Punk!

Great photos and super illustrations from The 19th Century. And the history of The Horseless Carriage is very interesting, too. I hadn't realised there were so many different steam vehicles.

Page 105, 'The Columbia Electirc' which was if I remember correctly, Grandma Duck's car, which was one of the first Electric Cars.
Cheers!

Yes, The Columbia Electric looks the most like Grandma Duck's horseless carriage. I think it was first used by Carl Barks in 1950. I don't think Al Taliaferro showed an auto owned by Grandma in his first appearances of her during the late 1930s and early 1940s, as I recall.
