A former northwest Florida congressman's lime-green car is going to a transportation museum in Michigan.

Representative Earl Hutto's 1979 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme had been parked at his Pensacola home. Hutto lived for a number of years in Panama City where he was Sports Director for NewsChannel Seven.

In, fact he bought the new car in 1979 from Kendrick Rowell Oldsmobile when he was first elected and drove it from here to Washinton DC.

He since retired in Pensacola and brought the car back to his home there from Washington.

Hutto, now 81, represented the first congressional district from 1979 to 1995. His staff in Washington referred to his car as "the green lemon."
The car -- which still has Hutto's congressional license plate -- is going to the R.E. Olds Transportation Museum in Lansing, Michigan.

Museum officials say they don't have an Oldsmobile from that era, and they were interested in acquiring a car used by a member of Congress.
