Description:

Baker Motor Vehicle Company was a manufacturer of Brass Era electric automobiles in Cleveland, Ohio from 1899 to 1914. It is said that electric car sales overall peaked during 1912 and Baker Electric Motor-Vehicle Company was the leading electric car manufacturer in the United States. With well over 30,000 electric cars on the road by 1912, these beautiful automobiles had become increasingly popular. With a simple turn and push of a button or switch, they were easy to start and ran almost entirely without any sound or vibration whatsoever. Considered maintenance free, there were neither odors nor emissions, since they were battery operated. Electric vehicles offered a more peaceful and luxurious way to get from one place to another within a 100 mile range. Out of all the electric car companies that year, Walter C. Baker’s cars were especially exquisite. They had beautifully appointed interiors. They were long-lasting with almost maintenance free construction. They were considered exceptionally safe for women drivers and families. Baker advertised his cars that year as the “aristocratic vehicle.” Elegant. Refined. They were luxuriously priced between two to three thousand dollars.
