When Earl Hutto was elected to Congress in 1978 he purchased this '79 Cutlass Oldsmobile, his first new full-size car, in Panama City, Florida. He drove it from his Virginia home to the U. S. Capitol for the 16 years he was a Congressman. His two daughters, Lori and Amy, learned to drive in it. After a few years his staff kiddingly referred to it as the "Green lemon" and upon his retirement in 1995 his wife Nancy declared it would not make it back to their home in Pensacola. "But, it purred like a kitten." Said Hutto. He continued using it for several years before donating it to the R.E. Olds Transportation Museum.
