Were these one-offs built by a company whose main business is outside the car industry ?

It was built by a man, that later worked for a company that could be related to cars.

Go East a little and then to the furthest North.

would it be Duluth mn.?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #32 on:** October 04, 2015, 07:32:33 AM »

Minnesota is correct.
Approx. 160 miles south south-west of Duluth and few miles south east of Minneapolis.

Hastings ?

20 miles west...slightly north.

eden prarie

20 miles est...slightly south

...it means that if you go directly from Hastings to Eden Prarie, you'll found the place right in the middle of your path.

Bloomington?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #37 on:** October 04, 2015, 02:44:28 PM »

1st city you should meet leaving Bloomington towards Hastings going south East.

Built by Tort Walker from Eagan, Minnesota ?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #42 on:** October 07, 2015, 03:24:01 AM »

This was pretty hard!

oko94 · « **Reply #43 on:** October 07, 2015, 03:38:44 AM »

Well, once the city had been identified, all it required was browsing a dozen of Google search result pages. There haven't been that many electric cars built in Eagan !

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #44 on:** October 07, 2015, 03:56:13 AM »

Yes, but this is not his (relatively more) known car, the PET, but his 1st prototype.
(His name was Tom, btw

)
A well deserved point for you!

oko94 · « **Reply #45 on:** October 07, 2015, 03:58:22 AM »

The one I found was the Day Starter, another of his creations.

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #46 on:** October 07, 2015, 04:11:50 AM »

'Daystarter' was the name of the batteries produced by Standard Battery Company, where Tom worked.
They built the vehicle for Tom, but he named it PET (and put the Daystarter name on the side as a promotion for the Company)
