Drivers found a reason to stop being cranky in 1912. Earning its slogan, “The Standard of the World”, what car brand was the first to replace the hand crank with an electric starter motor?

The electric starter motor, when perfected, meant the end of the hand-cranked automobile. Most automobile manufacturers switched over to the electric starter during the teens, although Ford's Model T continued using the hand crank through 1919. With the exception of those old Model T's, almost every American car on the road boasted an electric starter by 1920.
