The CitiCar was a small electric vehicle, first produced in Florida in 1974 by a company called Sebring-Vanguard partly in response to the mid-1970s fuel crisis. The CitiCar was a tiny golf cart sized car that could go at a top speed of about 39 mph (63 km/h). Early versions had no extra features such as locking doors or air conditioning. In 1976, enough CitiCars were produced to promote Sebring-Vanguard to the position of being the U.S. #6 auto manufacturer after GM, Ford, Chrysler, AMC, and Checker (Taxis...) Production of the CitiCar continued until 1977 with about 2,300 CitiCars produced. Commuter Vehicles, Inc. purchased the CitiCar design, and renamed the vehicle Comuta-Car. Production of an upgraded version began in 1979 and Commuter Vehicles, Inc. produced an estimated 2,000 Comuta-Cars and Comuta-Vans. At about 4,300 C-Car variants produced, it still holds the record for most road-legal electric cars made in automobile history.
