Chrysler Turbine Car

Post by capri50asc »

I have always loved this car! I have the factory promo of this car and the factory brochure also. My father law WATCHED as they destroyed these back in the sixty. They had too. Chrysler would have had to pay a tax if they kept them One is at the Henry Ford, One is also at the Chrysler proving grounds in Chelse Michigan the other one I know about is at the Chrysler HQ in Auburn Hills Michigan. 10 made it the rest crushed in Detroit !

Sad Chris :cry:

I worked with a guy that has one here in Fenton, Missouri as well, when our plants {Chrysler}had their car shows he would bring it out plus do a demo drive. Neat car, way to noisy and never smelled good.

I saw one on display inside the Peterson Museum in LA a couple of years ago.
