It is interesting that the link is to a movie about the electric car. The Holsman was a gasoline driven car not an electric. -- Last edit: 2009-09-06 00:23:03

Note the distinctive rear brakes: Link to "digitalcollections.detroitpubliclibrary.org" The Victor Automobile Company of St. Louis, Missouri was the only other company producing electric highwheelers, but this is not one of them as they lasted much shorter and were therefore much rarer. -- Last edit: 2019-01-23 20:02:13
