This EV Survivor Still Runs!

Back in 1881, a pair of Cincinnati brothers decided to get into the fresh
produce racket. Along the way to becoming an iconic presence in the area,
they invested in a 1928 Model 10 Walker Electric Truck. Sadly, and to the
surprise of many, Gentile Bros. Co. folded in 2013, but that truck lives on.

After a life of schlepping carrots and cabbage, it mysteriously made its way
down to Palm Springs, California, where it's spent a quiet retirement
working on a fine patina. Rescued from a five-year stint out in the weather
by Greg Gunkel, the pickup amazingly, once again, came to life with the
addition of a set of tires and a trio of 12-volt batteries.

Quite possibly the last of its kind – we've searched high and low for other
examples of Walker [Electric] Trucks and have found only a handful, and none
like this configuration – Gunkel has offered it up on Craigslist in hopes it
can find a good home in the hands of a museum or collector. It comes with a
set of California "historical vehicle" license plates and a reprint of a
booklet entitled "Instructions for the care and use of Model 10 light
delivery Walker Electric Trucks." Asking price is a soft $40,000.
