Steinmetz drove electric (of course)

I just had to post this picture of Charles P. Steinmetz in his 1914 Detroit Electric car:

Outside the car are Marjorie, William, Joseph Jr. and Joseph Hayden Sr. - they were Steinmetz's adoptive family.  Maybe Mom Hayden took the picture ?  :)  That car had a tiller and could be driven from the back seat.  It didn't go that fast or far but Schenectady wasn't that big a town then.

Here are a few articles on the car, Steinmetz and GE:
