1953 Autoette Cruise About - Longbeach Ca.

[starvnmarvin]

With gas prices at $4.00 a gallon. I can say that I am the proud owner of a 1953 Autoette Cruise-About. I have not been able to find much out about this factory made car. I have a state of Nebraska title for it. I hope someone out there may have some input. The car runs on 4 six-volt batteries. I have it set up for two 12volt. The motor is a Chrysler starting motor 24 volt. I would like a wiring diagram, and maybe an owners manual ( I will be more that satisfied with a copy). I have pictures I will be glad to email. Any help appreciated. thanks Marvin Honeycutt 261 w. 6th Nelson, Nebraska 68961 Ph. (cell) 415 672 0821 email starvnmarvin@comcast.net

The Autoette was first manufactured in early 1948 in Long Beach, California (USA) by Royce Seevers. The company was then sold to Blood Sales Co for a short time before being resold to Wayne Manufacturing Co; a street sweeping company who moved to Pomona, California. After some legal problems, the Autoette was then sold back to the Seevers' family, lock stock and barrel in 1958. From then until 1970, they controlled manufacturing, distribution and sales of Autoette vehicles.
The Autoette vehicles were electric cars that came in a number of forms that range from pickup trucks (that could carry up to 1/4 of a ton), cars, and golf mobiles. Ranging from 2 - 4 seats, the Autoette had tiller steering and was powered by an electric motor which drew its power from large 24 volt batteries. Production ceased in the 1970s.
