1924 Auto Red Bug

Automotive Electric Service (later Automotive Standards) built some Red Bugs with Northeast electric motors that were used as starters on 1920s Dodges. 

They boasted, “It operates on standard automobile storage batteries, rechargeable in your garage or at any service station.” 

Red Bugs were sold through upscale Abercrombie & Fitch and F.A.O. Schwartz stores, and a fleet of Red Bugs went into service on Jekyll Island, Georgia, where no gasoline-powered cars were allowed. 

Even Lou Costello owned one.
