A stray survivor of GM's "CRUSH THEM ALL!" mandate, and EV1, has been found in the wilds of the North American parking garages in Atlanta


By the way, it's the only car to just say GM, not some subsidy like Chevy, and the keys were from Cadillac blanks. It's aero drag coefficient was 0.19




Watch the movie Who Killed The Electric Car for a history of this trailblazer. One is at the Petersen Museum, and one is at the Tellas Science Museum in Cartersville, GA

    1. So I read, but when I went to the Coppola Museum website, and google images of that museum, the only car shown is his Tucker. So, since I could find no evidence to support that claim, I didn't include it. But thanks for backing up that claim... any idea where the Coppola museum has the rest of it's car collection?

    2. He has a handful of cars stashed away that are not in the Museum. Jay Leno had him on "Jay Leno's Garage" It was a good interview. This link is a teaser: http://video.cnbc.com/gallery/?video=3000462099
      I think CNBC has full episodes somewhere.

  3. I believe he just hid the car so it wasn't crushed. I'm sure the story may change over the years

    1. Atlanta. You can read, can't you? If your next question is "Where in Atlanta" my next answer is in a parking garage. Since it's not like you are going to go find the car, it really doesn't matter which one. But if you can't rest until you discover which garage, look in the ones that in purely for businesses, not at the malls. AKA, downtown
