Custer Car - 1920s & 30s

About 1925 Levitt Custer had developed a battery operated Custer Amusement Park Car. In the 1930s Custer patented the Custer Car meant for the public road. Available with a gasoline motor or battery-operated, the car came with an unusual type of transmission: The driver moved the steering handle forward or backward, and the car would move in that direction.
