Anyone ever heard of the Chrysler Turbine car? Would be impossible to own one (only 9 exist) but pretty cool idea

Chrysler Turbine Car - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm very familiar with the Chrysler Turbine Car I remember building a model kit of it when I was a youngster and have read a number of awesome articles about it since.

Back in the day Chrysler loaned out almost all the prototypes to regulars schmoes like us who wrote in asking for the privilege. The turbine proved to be most impractical and the prototypes were reclaimed and almost all were destroyed because of P.R., insurance and liability issues.

Not too hard to see the Old Ford Thunderbird in that design, eh?

My oldest brother had one of these when he was a senior in high school (1970), same color and everything.

He taught me how to drive a standard in that car, even though I was only 10.

Motor Home Built On A Ford Model TT, 1925

Powered by a pretty meager 20hp engine, this home had a motor, but not an exceedingly effective one. Costing $380 at the time, the expensive sell forced its buyers to hand operate a windshield wiper while topping out at 22mph.
