The Marathon C-300 is a true standout – as the only commercial electric car developed in Canada between 1915 and the 1990s. Despite the C-300’s unusual appearance and lack of rear seats, more than 600 were sold in 1978. The end of the Energy Crisis and a drop in gas prices put the nail in the coffin for Marathon’s three-year attempt at the car market.
