Electric/gasoline hybrids are a hot item today, but are not new. This 1916 Woods Dual Power was an early attempt to combine the advantages of both forms of power. Owned by the Henry Ford Museum, the Woods Dual Power had a 14-hp four-cylinder gasoline engine and an electric motor. It was only produced two years, although the Woods Electric had been in production since 1903.
