Walker Electric Trucks were battery-powered vehicles built from 1907 to 1942 in Chicago, Illinois and Detroit, Michigan. Initially designed and manufactured by the Walker Vehicle Company (not to be confused with the Walker Motor Car Company) in Chicago, they were bought by the Anderson Electric Car Company of Detroit in 1916, then sold to Commonwealth Edison of Chicago in 1920, and last to York & Towne in 1933.

1935 Packard 120, new to the market this year. 35,000+ were sold, a roaring success...especially when you consider only 4,000 Packard's were sold in 1934.
In the background is the Packard Motor Car Co. assembly plant on East Grand Blvd in Detroit. 90% of it is still there today, it's the largest industrial ruin in the world!
