Details
In the late '40s a chicken farmer in California named R.D. Taylor Sr. needed a way to haul his chicken feed around and he came up with carts to haul it. He then started selling his carts to neighboring farmers and he was asked to come up with a motorized cart, so he developed the predecessor to this little buggy. In 1955 he partnered with Fred Dunn and the two started developing a powered shopping car that was fully street legal. Today they are known as neighborhood electric vehicles. This is an open-cab model used in southern California until 1965. In 2020 the Trident underwent a full restoration including seven brand-new heavy-duty batteries. Manufactured in 1959 by Taylor-Dunn in California, it still sports its original California Black Plate. It features functional turn signals, lights, horn and flashers, and all-new upholstery. Powered by an electric motor and 2-speed automatic transmission, this Trident has about a 50-mile range on a full charge and will run 19-26 mph. **SOLD ON BILL OF SALE**
