I had a banner ad today that made me wonder what my ten year younger self would have thought it referred to. So everybody put your heads back into the early '90s:

Yeah! Car phones were around in the 90s, sure, but.

A hands free car - very Jetsonian. But where does the cellular part fit in??
I shocked a teen the other day by saying that I went to school before cell phones, before e-mail and before the PC. (personal computer or politically correct, take your choice.) Amazing what we have learned to take for granted in so short a time.

It must be an electric car! (WOW! Doesn't that *sound futuristic? e.g.)

And it's a kit! So simple even an adult can build one.

The Bailey Electric Car was still on the road when I was a little girl. (early 1930s) Two elderly ladies in our neighborhood drove one. It was similar to the first illustration in this link : http://www.didik.com/ev_hist.htmIt was totally silent and the ride was smooth as glass. The Bailey Company, just down the pike in Seabrook, New Hampshire - right here on the seacoast, made the electric cars. They are still in business but make other stuff now. Who was it said "Nothing new under the sun?"
