Description

Pictured is the Model A Victoria Phaeton. After receiving a patent for a lead-acid battery in 1903, Oliver Parker Fritchle established the Fritchle Electric Storage Battery Company in Denver, Colorado. The company produced its first electric car in 1905. In 1908, Fritchle embarked on a cross-country journey to promote the car's speed and its ability to travel 100 miles or more in one day.

The only electric guaranteed to go 100 miles on one charge. The Victoria Phaeton shown here, is an ideal lady's carriage for city and country use. Its artistic and impressive body design, its superb painting and upholstering make it the most attractive lady's car ever offered to the public. Harry L. Cort, sole agent. Moore Theatre.
