01
Artifact Overview
This photograph shows a Chevrolet Corvair with something new under the hood. General Motors exhibited this experimental fuel-cell-powered vehicle at the 1967 Detroit Auto Show. Fuel cells produce electricity through a chemical reaction. They don't rely on petroleum, and water -- not toxic emissions -- is their byproduct.
