At the 1914 Chicago Auto Show, (Detroit was still a back water,) there was a big argument on what would power the automobiles of the future. Steam and electric were the favorites. After all, what gentleman or lady would want an infernal combustion engine, with all the smell and exhaust, not to mention, a starter that would break your wrist just looking at it!
