Today, a hybrid car is viewed as a new an innovation, but America's gasoline-electric hybrid was built on April 25, 1898 by Munson Company of La Porte. The factory was located on the corner of Michigan Ave. and Washington Street. The "horseless carriage" was produced here between 1896 and 1902. Only four Munson automobiles were manufactured in La Porte.
