If you had a multi-million dollar costume company – y'know the kind that sells sexy librarian and sexy witch outfits for the October holiday – what would you do with the money? If you're Classic Costume Company, Inc. (CCUC), you decide it's time to buy two car-related companies. You start with Imperial Coachworks, Inc., makers of luxury limos. Then, you add Plug-In Motors to your stable of wholly owned subsidiaries and announce you're going to change your name to Electric Car Company, Inc.
Plug-In Motors currently offers one conversion, a Mustang that they call the Plug-In Panther, but has plans to offer six more, including Ford F-150 and F-250 trucks and Mercury Grand Marquis (or Ford Crown Victoria), "soon." The conversions to pure electric Mustangs cost $75,900 for the minimum range (85 miles) or $99,900 for the maximum range of 200 miles. While it may seem strange for a costume company to buy an EV firm, CCUC has its reasons: government money. In a recent press release announcing its name change, they explained:
