Because 1912's day sounds stupid.

Welcome back to the weekly installment of 2sday where I find an interesting automobile built in a year ending in 2 (because Tuesday). The past 2 installments profiled an !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! and an !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .

This week it is 1912. I challenge the Oppo community to find interesting automobiles built in 1912, bonus points if you can find a eBay/CL listing.

For this weeks installment I found the manifestation of what the automobile was described as during its birth - a horseless carriage.

This is a 1912 Flanders Colonial Electric. Like last week it is an electric car; however, it is not very fast. Built in Pontiac, Michigan by the Flanders Manufacturing Company, this car featured a stagecoach design where the occupants faced each other like they were sitting in a stage coach.

I am not sure how the driver saw where they were going, or in fact, how they drove the car. That is probably why the car !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! due to some "design flaws." I wonder what they could have been?

What interesting cars from 1912 can you find?

Bask in awe of the 1912 Cadillac, peasant.

Definitely didn't expect the wooden convertible frame. That must be interesting to put up and down.

Still probably easier to use than the Citroën C3 Pluriel

If you owned the Rolls, wouldn't you just get your driver to do it?
