Comments Still a mystery, but we’re getting closer. Ohio Electric Car Company was underwritten in 1909 in Toledo, Ohio. Cars were originally sold from 2011 Michigan Ave, Chicago. Initial production of 10 in 1910, grew to 650 by 1916. Company went out of business in 1918. They were known as the “Cadillac” of electric cars. Priced from $2300 to $3200. Michigan Ave. was known as, “Gasoline Alley”, with no less than 65 car dealers located there. No known covers with corner card return address. Very strange with this many used singles known.
