ON'T merely buy
an electric. Make an investment in a car of
recognized value -- a car that has not only proven
itself |
master
of all road conditions in Kansas City but one that
is safe to the point of certainty.
Certainty! Because it is made to meet far more
than ordinary requirements. You can get these
features only in a Detroit Electric. |
| HORIZONTAL
CONTROLLER LEVER -- |
|
Fitted
into the side of the car itself,
allowing full seat room. Parallel
with steering lever. When not in
use both levers can be raised upright,
flat against the side of the car,
entirely out of the way. |
|
|
| BRAKES
-- |
|
Four
extra powerful brakes act on the rear
wheels. More braking surface than
on any other electric made, simple and
easy to operate. There are two
foot pedals, which may be used separately
or together, as required. In case
of emergency the brakes may be applied
and locked by one pressure of the foot,
at the same time automatically cutting
off the power.. |
|
|
| ALUMINUM
FENDERS "CLOSED IN" -- |
|
No
open space between fenders and
body. Protection from dirt and
splash of the road. Adds to the
appearance of the car. Fenders do
not rattle, more substantial than
leather, lighter than steel. |
|
|
| ALUMINUM
BODY PANELS -- |
|
Add
to the strength of body, life of the car
and beauty of finish. Do not
check, warp, or crack. Even the
mouldings are made of aluminum (not
wood). |
|
|
| LOW
HUNG BODIES -- |
|
All
1912 Detroit Electrics have low hung
bodies, low center of gravity and the
easiest riding springs made, whether you
use Pneumatic or Motz Cushion Tires.. |
|
|
| DIVIDED
FRONT WINDOWS -- |
|
Adjustable
from one inch to full depth, without
disturbing occupants. The top half
swings out like a wind shield.
Protection in storm, plenty of fresh air
in summer. |
|
|
| BATTERIES
-- |
|
We
furnish Edison nickel and steel
batteries, for which we have exclusive
rights in pleasure cars, or Detroit
Electric Guaranteed Lead Battery.
There are 73 cars in Kansas City and
vicinity equipped with the Edison
Battery. |
|
|
| MOTOR
-- |
|
Our
own exclusive design, built and speeded
expressly for an electric automobile;
made in our own shops, of course.
Hill climbing and heavy loads never
overheat or burn out Detroit Electric
motors. In Seattle, where hills
and road conditions are extraordinary,
84 out of 104 electics are Detroit
Electrics. |
|
|
| "CHAINLESS"
SHAFT DRIVE -- |
|
Only
true Direct Shaft Drive on electric
automobiles. Patented. The
word "Chainless" is your protection
against so-called "Shaft
Drives" with concealed chain
or gear reductions housed at the motor
beneath the car to rattle, wear and
waste power. There are no chains
to stretch and slack anywhere on a
Detroit Electric -- a great advantage in
hilly cities where strains are so
severe.. |
