That’s a great question, and I’m having a hard time finding specs on either Harbour’s Beaver or the Caravan. I’d assume there’s a significant weight penalty with current battery tech, unfortunately. But we have to start somewhere, right?

Vancouver’s Harbour Air is putting the electrified Beavers into service because they actually make economic sense. Their flights fit a very specific use case, mind you (they do <100mi hops between downtown Vancouver and destinations on the coast and Vancouver Island), but they believe that in this application the

Transfer cases are enough of a problem to at least keep it on the radar (though replacements are plentiful). Otherwise this is pretty amazing for the money. NP.

Wouldn’t surprise me if Leno actually buys them

...only three 1967 Lincoln Continental Convertibles 

My first car was a ‘76 SR-5 Liftback, so I’ll always have a soft spot for Celicas.

Like it or not, it’s a collectible. It’s not in horrible shape, either.

Normally mods are a red flag for me, and I guess I’d like to know a little more about the provenance of the ones on the car now, but...
