Canada's first gas-powered car, the 'Fossmobile,' is being remade by inventor's grandson
John Vennavally-Rao

In a fabrication shop in Halton Hills, Ont., piece by piece, a part of automotive history is being rebuilt: the so-called "Fossmobile."

The vehicle hasn’t rolled down a Canadian street in more than a century. It’s modelled after the car that was the nation’s very first to successfully run on gasoline — built by Ron Foss’ grandfather.

"I just decided that that Canadians really need to know that it wasn't Ford that was the first in Canada, that it was my grandfather,” Foss told CTV News.
 
How is it that they can raise $14,000 through kickstarter to get an old stinky crappy car running but we electric gearheads don't have some awesome preservation of historic electric vehicles.

Sounds like an opportunity to compete.
