"Commuter Vehicles Inc. Specifications & Answers to Questions," 1982

01

Artifact Overview

This brochure from 1982 provided specifications and answers to questions about the electric Comuta-Car. Sharp increases in gasoline prices in the 1970s persuaded some buyers to purchase small vehicles from Commuter Vehicles, Inc. But every time the price of fuel spiked, it always fell again, and demand for electrics-- designed for limited use in cities--always fell along with it.
