The sole remaining GM electric car?

And what has happened to the one EV1 the Smithsonian had on display? They have removed it and stored it away where the public will never see it again. As Washington Post reporter Linda Hales wrote in the article mentioned in the last post wrote:

The mystery, meantime, at the National Museum of American History is why a rare surviving example of that car -- a silvery-blue 1997 EV1 sedan -- would be removed from display yesterday just as interest in the innovative vehicle seems bound to grow.

By the way, GM contributed $10 million in 2001 which paid half the cost of the history museum's new transportation exhibition hall, which was renamed to honor the benefactor. But lest you think there is a connection the GM spokesman says emphatically:

"There is no conspiracy to do away with the EV1 at the Smithsonian. There is no Oliver Stone-esque conspiracy at GM to do away with the EV1."

Boy! Was I ever wrong when I claimed that the American automobile industry couldn’t be creative.
