I checked this out on Wikipedia for even more information. They moved to Chicopee Falls, MA around 1920. In 1929 they were about to produce a gas-electric hybrid. The stock market crash killed that. The company ceased operation in 1932. In Peabody, MA, about 100 miles or so east of Chicopee Falls, the Gas-Au-Lec was produced in 1906.
Very interesting. Is that chains on the rear auto tyres? If so,I wonder how the horses and carriage gained traction.
