Electric and Steam Cars – Alternative Power Classics
While electric and steam cars date back to the 1800’s, by the early 1900s there was a lot of competition between steam, electric and gasoline powered cars.
Eventually, as the internal combustion engine rapidly developed, both electric and steam cars fell out of favor with the buying public, who favored cars with less expensive and more powerful internal combustion engines.
