Did you see the wonderful photo of A. G. Vanderbilt’s Belmont coach in New York, which I linked to several days ago?
I’ve been browsing around on the site where that photo lives, and I’ve found more!
First, here’s a photo from 1912, of Mrs. William E. Borah, wife of Senator Borah from Idaho, in a Baker electric car. The car’s design is clearly still based on popular carriage designs.
Stay tuned … I’ll post a link to another one tomorrow!

That looks just like the Baker Electric on display at the Long Island Museum of Art, History and Carriages at Stony Brook
