The Columbia Mk XXXV is one of the earliest motorcars that has been entered in the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance<\/a> ‘It’s Electric’ class for 2021.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n\r\n\r\n

The first electric cars were essentially just horseless carriages that were used to\u00a0transport the upper classes in the early 20th\u00a0Century. It\u00a0was seen as\u00a0a quiet, fast, and odorless replacement of the horse-drawn carriages.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u00a0Most of their advantages of the electric vehicle were based on the time needed to start the vehicle.\u00a0It was much simpler compared to the complex and possibly risky task when dealing with horses. It was also a lot more dignified to use compared to the early combustion engines at the time, which some electric car merchants dubbed as \u2018explosion cars.\u2019 It is no surprise then that electric cars became popular for doctors in the era to make house calls.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The Electric Vehicle Company from Hartford, CT, produced both gasoline and electric cars from 1897 to 1913, when it became part of the United States Motor Company. The 1905 MK XXXV Brougham had twin motors powered by an\u00a088-volt\u00a0wet cell battery and was\u00a0had the capacity to drive at 18 mph through its 5-speed transmission.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

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<\/a> 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>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Columbia named its top-of-the-line electric car ‘Brougham’ after the most popular closed carriage from the Victorian era. The Columbia Electric Brougham was designed and built to transport ‘The Haves’ in complete privacy and luxury. It is evident from the catalog, print ads, and booklets that stated:\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n

\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.\u00a0Fashion is autocratic in the manner of town carriages for private service.\u00a0This is why\u00a0it 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\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The short duty cycles of the turn of the century electrics made for comparatively fast, quiet, safe, comfortable, and dignified city transport for the right sort of people. The Columbia Brougham was equipped with standard Michelin Pneumatic tires and was sold at $3,000, a price that was\u00a0definitely not courting those who would become customers of Henry Ford when he turned the Model T loose on the world in 1908 for the common folk.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"\"<\/a>

Most likely, Columbia had hoped that the prestige of the Brougham Mk XXXV would rub off on their other electric motor car models like the $1,700 Surrey that was equipped with an underslung battery, or the entry-level, two-place Runabout that was priced at $900.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Although it\u00a0wasn\u2019t\u00a0publicly announced, one of Columbia\u2019s noted clients was Mrs. Edith Bolling Galt, President Woodrow Wilson\u2019s <\/a>second wife. She purchased the stylish \u201cElberon\u201d Victoria Mk XXXI worth $1,600. She was nicknamed \u2018the secret president\u2019 and it is claimed that she was the first woman to own and drive such a vehicle.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

For tradesmen, one way to impress a customer was to have\u00a0a Columbia electric truck worth $4,000\u00a0to be used for deliveries.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n

\u201cColumbia had offices in major American cities. An electric — personal or commercial — could cross those cities many times on a single battery charge. That made electrics practical and gave them real utility at\u00a0the turn of the last century. In America, railroads, not highways, connected far flung cities. In that world electrics made a lot of sense.\u00a0Early electric car owners could be content knowing they were likely seen as members of the upper class. So, not much has changed on that front in the last 115 years.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\nFounder and Chairman of the Amelia Island Concours\u00a0d\u2019Elegance, Bill Warner<\/cite><\/blockquote>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
