Electric Brougham by Detroit Electric. 1917 model. This car still works. Electric broughams get their names from a small four wheeled carriage called a brougham, and the fact that it is an electric car. Marketed as easy to use comfortable town transport, Broughams were popular with wealthy women and professionals like doctors who needed reliable easy-to-drive transport, in an age where most cars need to be cranked in order to start. This car can run on a bunch of modern car batteries, btw.
