One of the participants of the 1973 taxi design contest by the Museum of Modern Art?

Everyone knows the Volvo and Alfa Romeo prototypes, the Volkswagen was a T2 bus with hybrid engine, the taxi by Steam Power Systems looked different, which leaves the last contestant, built by the American Machine and Foundry (AMF). Is it that one?

Are you sure about it being a participant of that MoMA contest? I read that the Pratt Institute car is from 1971.

I only have the paper clip without a date. It could have been the 1971 contest  also, if Dodge had presented its next year model... ???
