Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Plug-in Chevette Although it doesn't show it; this car cost General Motors of Canada Ltd. some $250;000 to build. It's the new Electrovette; a Chevette equipped with batteries; which GM hopes will be the car of the mid-1980s. The prototype; shown above with Frank Fleck; director of engineering for GM Canada; has a range of about 60 miles in the city with a 950-pound battery pack. [Incomplete]
