Great. Just send me a PM so we don't swamp everyone else with stuff they aren't interested in.

Trivia question, what was the first hybrid car built for sale in the U.S. (Tip, it was NOT a Honda.) By hybrid I mean an electric vehicle with an onboard gasoline engine.

As far as I know, it wasn't. It was sort of the first 4X4, but it was so expensive to build, they didn't sell many. The American hybrid was a small company trying to stay in business. It failed soon after but did build and sell cars in the U.S. No, American wasn't the name, just where it was located.

Goodness, it looks like I stumped everybody.

In 1914, the Woods Dual Power was introduced ad sold in 1915-16. Woods didn't last long.
