Today I learnt that Granma Duck's car is electric. It turns out that it is based on a Detroit Electric, an electric car that was produced 1907-1939. This goes to prove that there is nothing new with electric cars.
The picture above is a 1915 model at Tekniska Museet in Stockholm.
I knew that Tintin's cars mostly were based on real cars, but it was news to me that members of the Donald Duck family had real cars as well.

I remember a comic book that had a cutout of Grandma Duck's car. You could cut it out, paste it together, and make a thread spool motor to power it. Instructions for the motor were included. I would surely like to find a copy of that issue.
