I bet y'all are soooo jealous of me :-p 56K BEWARE!
 
Well... a friend and I decided to take a trip down to Detroit... to visit the Institute of Art.

I know, I know, it has absolutely nothing to do with EVs, but wait...

I decided to take advantage of a very little known fact. In a College of Creative Stuidies building, just across the street from the DIA sits... none other than... an EV1!!!!!!

As promised to Oval_Overload, here are loads and loads of pictures :D

It looked very sad, and I very much wanted to take it home with me :(

Wow! THANKS for posting those.

Gotta love the flat tire.

There are pics I haven't seen before - like the belly pan & details of the interior. Good stuff!

Red 10-17-2008 09:05 PM

Kewl! Think it still works? Didn't look like a shell but a complete car

Tetsuo 10-17-2008 09:53 PM

It's probably complete except for the ECU, they took them out of all the remaining cars they donated to Academia to avoid the embarassment of people driving them on the road :(

There is one or two working ones left tho'...

That Doco, [Who killed the Electric Car] makes me SO mad at GM :mad:

Sean T. 10-17-2008 10:38 PM

Not sure where the ECU is, but there were a few plugs hanging down at my feet near the door hinge.

NeilBlanchard 10-17-2008 10:56 PM

Thanks Sean!

Now why the hell can't GM just start building these again?! That is just frickin' ridiculous! Who knows -- it might just save 'em from oblivion; and it is probably better than the Volt... Sheesh.

Red 10-18-2008 02:36 AM

I just find it sad that we had all this tech back in the 90s and now it seems like its oh so hard to redo it now almost 20 years later

bbjsw10 10-18-2008 08:25 AM

Great pics, Thanks. Hated the documentary on those so SaD.

Sean T. -

Stunning, and you got to sit INSIDE!!!!!! The (front/rear?) axle picture is cool. I get the feeling it has low miles. Maybe it's always been a display/show car.

I'm happy that it at least escaped the crusher.

Indeed, I am jealous! Mind if I use some of these pictures for a blog post?
