Photo: Hyman LTD.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It\u2019s neither error nor coincidence that Columbia named its top of the line electric \u201cBrougham\u201d after the most popular closed carriage of the recent Victorian era. The Columbia Electric Brougham was conceived and built to transport \u201cThe Haves\u201d with luxury and privacy. In dignified language that bordered on snobbery Columbia said so in restrained but unmistakably haughty terms in their catalog, booklet and print ads. . .<\/p>\n<p>\u201cColumbia electric town carriages of the coach type are built for private service only from plans and specifications approved by the most critical and discriminating class of vehicle owners.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFashion is autocratic in the manner of town carriages for private service. This is why it means so much that social leaders have approved of the Columbia Extension Front and Straight Front Electric Broughams which you may see standing before the doors of many exclusive homes in our large cities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Columbia Brougham reveals the mission of the earliest electric cars. The short duty cycles of turn of the century electrics made for relatively fast &#8212; compared to the equine pace of the gilded age &#8212; safe, quiet, dignified and comfortable\u00a0(standard Michelin pneumatic tires)\u00a0urban transport for the right sort of people. At $3000 Columbia was certainly not courting those who would become customers of Henry Ford when he turned the Model T loose on the world in 1908.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_677140\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-677140\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Columbia-Interior.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-677140\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Columbia-Interior.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Columbia-Interior.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Columbia-Interior-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Columbia-Interior-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Columbia-Interior-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Columbia-Interior-770x513.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Columbia-Interior-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Columbia-Interior-1155x770.jpg 1155w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Columbia-Interior-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Columbia-Interior-293x195.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-677140\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Voltage and ammeter from the 1905 Columbia.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Columbia no doubt hoped that the social patina of the Brougham Mk XXXV might affix itself to Columbia\u2019s other electric offerings; the Surrey ($1700 with underslung battery) or the entry level, two-place $900 Runabout.\u00a0Columbia was able to resist broadcasting that their stylish $1,600 \u201cElberon\u201d Victoria Mk XXXI was the personal car of Mrs. Edith Bolling Galt, the second wife (1915-1924) of President Woodrow Wilson. She was called \u201cthe secret president\u201d and was said to be the first woman to own and drive such a vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>Aspiring tradesmen could impress their customers with one of Columbia\u2019s electric delivery wagons by spending a lofty $4,000 for the Columbia electric truck.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cColumbia had offices in major American cities. An electric &#8212; personal or commercial &#8212; could cross those cities many times on a single battery charge. That made electrics practical and gave them real utility at the turn of the last century,\u201d said Bill Warner, founder and Chairman of the Amelia Island Concours d\u2019Elegance. \u201cIn America, railroads, not highways, connected far flung cities. In that world electrics made a lot of sense.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEarly electric car owners could be content knowing they were likely seen as members of the upper class,\u201d Warner continued. \u201cSo, not much has changed on that front in the last 115 years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more information visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ameliaconcours.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">www.ameliaconcours.org<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To 21st Century eyes they are curious looking contraptions.
