Beacon Ray Equipped: Miller Meteor Ambulance

Eclectic Electric: B&Z Electra King

Um.. here’s an odd one, to say the least. This is a B&Z Electra King made between the early-Kennedy administration until sometime in the early-Reagan administration. That’s a fairly long time, both politically and for an EV company to even be in business. These… more»
