"After five years of development, the first Electrek went on sale in 1979 for $25,000 - about $90,000 today.

"Despite the steep sticker price, advertisements promised buyers a car capable of highway speeds and a range of up to 100 miles when driven at a constant speed of 40 miles per hour. The company also claimed the car only cost 1 cent per mile to maintain and operate.

"Between 1979 and 1982, Gould said Unique Mobility made more than 50 Electreks."
