Dearborn, MI, United States
Despite its no-frills design, the electric CitiCar seemed like the right car at the right time when it debuted in 1974. Gas prices were climbing and environmental awareness was growing. The CitiCar was efficient and eco-friendly, but gas prices fell and the company never sold more than 5,000 vehicles. The last CitiCar was built by a successor firm in 1982.
