This video shows Dave Yoder unloading and driving his 1976 Vanguard Electric CitiCar into the Marriott Hotel ballroom for EVening of EVs in Normal IL ( Thursday January 26th 2012 ). Warning my very shaky video “work” might cause nausea. Video taken using a digital camera, it was cold and I was in a hurry to make sure I captured this car in action.
I’d venture a guess electric car haters and skeptics will find this video amusing. Towards the end a tow rope is used to help the CitiCar into the ballroom. When talking to the owner later that night – I think this was do to the car having a low charge. Keep in mind I’ve seen David Brunson’s 1981 Comuta-Car go up a steep hill with no problems at the Illinois State Fairgrounds. The Comuta is the second go around of the CitiCar.
Sebring-Vanguard the company that manufactured CitiCars was sold to Commuter Vehicles, Inc. That is who went into production with the similar looking Comuta-Car. Occasionally you will see David Brunson’s 1981 Comuta-Car being driven around Springfield IL. I was under the mistaken impression that his vehicle had been upgraded to a lithium ion battery pack.
It was definitely interesting to have such a mix of old and new at this electric car event. The various vehicles really showed the progression of this technology over the years.
