Overview
Overview
A seventh smaller battery would power accessories. The body was to be of glass fiber reinforced plastic, while a planned removable top was to be of clear acrylic. The batteries would weigh approximately 900 pounds and allow a range 60 miles on an overnight charge. The prototype was driven in the 1959 Lansing Michigan Centennial parade. The unrestored Nu-Klea Starlite in the collection of the Lane Motor Museum in Nashville, Tennessee, United States matches the photograph of the Starlite which was driven in the parade.
