1914 Rauch and Lang Electric Brougham








This regal 1914 Brougham was built during the glory days of the electric car, and is perhaps the finest example of the luxurious Rauch & Lang Brougham. It is elegantly upholstered in plush red velvet and comfortably seats four and has remarkable all-around visibility for passengers and the driver, who, incidentally, control the car from a rear seat. With tiller steering, it was not that easy to maneuver at speeds above 30 mph.

  1. What a lovely car and I imagine the electric cars were quite popular with the ladies of the time as there is no need to crank start them.

    1. My car is a 2015 Hyundai, and a 69 Dodge R/T . Just because I take photos of, and post pictures of, hundreds of thousands of other cars, does not mean I won them
