And yes, that's an aluminum 'glide.

Verne:naughty:

~10-12 qts of oil, radiator cooler and piping, Torque converter, etc... I could see it, compared to a small compact 3-spd with an aluminum bellhousing, and 25 lb flywheel.

I believe it was built for the Chicago Auto Show. It's the 1970 Olds Contessa Cutlass show car.

A couple of other show cars Olds built for auto shows:

False fact: Green is the color of St. Patrick's Day

Although green is the color most associated with Ireland (it is the 'Emerald Isle' after all), it’s not St. Patrick’s color. Members of the Order of St. Patrick actually used blue as their symbolic color. The shade: St. Patrick’s blue.

This is the Eliminator prototype that had the 2 speed rear axle in it. The "streep" option came VERY close to being offered as an RPO for the 1970 Cougar Eliminator and Cyclone Spoiler.

https://s17.postimg.cc/oymgg10yn/96966-01.jpg

Though the Streep option never became an RPO, the moniker did make it into Mercury's marketing
