Is the car a proper license-built Ford or is it just a copy ?

Was it an electric version ? I've found a 1947 brochure for Denka electric vehicles and the puzzle car is there.

Nice, I haven't seen that one before. You are right, of course. It is an electrified version of the 1936 Ford, available with two different battery sizes.
