Clifford P. Case behind the wheel of the “Allectric” prototype car, showcased at hearings of the Senate Commerce Committee, March 13, 1967.
Case took a considerable interest in promoting efficient alternatives that would reduce America’s reliance on fossil fuels. Here, the Senator is photographed behind the wheel of the “Allectric” prototype electric car developed by a Pennsylvania power company. Less than a decade before Americans sat in lengthy lines at gas pumps, Case joined in sponsoring bills submitted to the Senate Commerce Committee to promote the development of electric cars or other alternatives to the internal combustion engine. The parking meter at the right has been modified to serve as a potential source of “plug-in” power for parked electric vehicles.
