Trotter Electric Car
This car was designed and built by George Trotter out of old aircraft parts at an airfield in India during World War II.
He used the drop tank from a plane for the body, the fenders are made from tail skids from B-25 bombers.
The power was produced from a gasoline powered 24 volt generator that provided DC electricity to a electric starter motor on each wheel. I suppose this would be considered a hybrid car.
The driving force behind building this vehicle was to move the generator from one aircraft to another. There was a shortage of Jeeps to move the generator and the aircraft were widely dispersed to guard against aerial attack.
