A BIG DEAL DISGUISED AS A SMALL CAR.
BEFORE APPLE OR TESLA, there was General Motors. The company is now an established player in a mature industry, but back when the automobile was new technology, GM was an innovation leader. Just a few of its contributions: the electric starter (1912), car financing (1919), tiered brands (1920s), and the fully automatic transmission (1939).
To that résumé, we might now add the affordable long-range electric vehicle. The Bolt, with a battery pack good for 238 miles and a base price around $30,000 (after tax incentives), brings gas-free mobility to the masses.

PARTY CRASHER
That Duncan Hamilton even made it to the 1953 running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans is a testament to his durability. A lifelong theme of surviving calamity started with rolling his own stroller down some stairs at age two and continued with a series of shipwrecks, car rollovers, and plane crashes. Still, he became a formidable racer and landed a spot on the Jaguar factory team.
