Believed to have been assigned to GM in-house fleet and tested by the GM Canada test lab based in Oshawa and Kapuskasing, Ont..

Function

Unknown

Technical

Represents an example of the North American industry's attempts to address changes in emission guidelines such as the EPA in the U.S. and the California Clean Air Act, both of which have had a profound impact on improving emission standards of conventional fuel powered cars as well as in encouraging new technologies, such as variable fuels, hybrid fuel and electric vehicles. This vehicle was one of a number of prototype models designed to operate on greener fuels: E85 fuels are composed of 85% ethanol and 15% conventional unleaded gasoline. The experiments proved successful, and by 1992 over 2,000 variable fuel Luminas were produced for use in the U.S.. Also important as example of standard 4-door sedan typical of type produced by 'the Big Three' [auto makers] in late 1980s & 1990s. The Lumina is a very good example of a relatively nondescript mid-size family sedan, typical of the type of vehicle purchased by motor vehicle fleet operators- such as rental firms. (ref. 1)
