I have in my collection a old stamp from US 1901 electric car and
a stamp with inverted car and this have white paper and bigger size.
Is this a replica, with low value?

Yes, but not exactly a "replica" but a "reprint" contained as part of a souvenir sheet. The original (left) stamp is Scott #296; the reprint is Scott #3505c, part of "Pan American Inverts" souvenir sheet issued in 2001. (Catalog value unused, MNH: 75 cents). Two million of those souvenir sheets were produced. (Note the 2001 date in the LL corner of the right stamp.)

Thank you! What is this a make of car? Ford?

No. It was an electric car -- or a taxicab as we'd know it today. The correct designation is "an electric hansom cab used by the B&O Railroad for conveying travelers and their baggage to and from the B&O station in Washington, D.C.".

It's also been referenced as a vehicle produced by Electric Vehicle Service of New York.

Trivia: It not only was the first US stamp to depict an automobile, but allegedly was the first US stamp to depict a living person within the design.
