Detroit Electric Car as seen on Perry Mason [View all]

Perry Mason had an episode air on MeTV last night that had an elderly actress driving a really old car. At first I thought it was a Model T so I looked up the episode on IMDb

The car driven by Mrs. Kerrick (Sara Taft) appears to be an actual working model of a Detroit Electric, which was an electric car produced by the Anderson Electric Car Company in Detroit, Michigan. The company built 13,000 electric cars from 1907 to 1939. The same car can be seen in an episode of Peter Gunn (1958), Love Me to Death (1959).
