Kokomo Electricar
This is a neat car. Made in the late 1930s in Indiana. Earlier versions of the Kokomo Electricars have larger motors and have belts between the motor and the axle while this version has a geared drive.
The Kokomo car has an ingenious way of getting electrical current to the motor. The car has two contacts on one end of the bumper. These contacts rub against a fence. The wheels are spring loaded to turn towards the fence so electric contact is maintained.
The original box says “The KoKoMo Electricar. The Fastest Electric Toy Made.”
