1969 GM

The "state of the art" show at the GM Technical Center -- called "Progress of Power" -- included 26 special vehicles which were exhibited or demonstrated, many for the first time. These had a variety of unconventional power plants, including turbine, steam, electric and hybrid systems along with experimental piston engines with reduced air pollutant characteristics.

Joe, I have had a solid interest in GM's return to electric primarily because one of my side research projects was lending a hand to unraveling the mystery of why no drivetrain 1967 Camaro pilot's were converted to electric.

For the most part I happily stayed in the background for this one but -- boy that turned into a research "rabbit hole" of epic proportions.

Like Echoes however it was a true story that had to be told, and the research had to be completed quickly before the remaining people who were involved were gone.
