It would indeed.  I've also seen it called the 'GM BTV' (standing for 'Basic Transportation Vehicle' but It's official title seems to be XP-512E, 'E' for 'Electric', being the electric version of their attempts to make a small city car int eh 1960s.

Here's a colour pic along with the unmodified original puzzle picture:
