The Chrysler Turbine Car never caught on, but one thing is for sure: teenagers would have loved it. The Chrysler Turbine Car was part of a decades long effort by the Chrysler Corporation to develop a mass market gas turbine powered automobile. Building on work that began in the early 1950s, Chrysler launched a nationwide user experiment program with 50 hand-built Ghia bodied turbine cars in 1963. The cars were powered by a 130 hp regenerative gas turbine engine that ran on anything from kerosene

The Chrysler Turbine Car could run on any combustible liquid! How’s that for a party trick? This 1963 Chrysler Turbine Car is one of 9 still in existence, and is owned by @stahlsauto! It was also the 32nd vehicle added to the National Historic Vehicle Register! #DriveHistory #chryslerturbine #mopar #turbinecar #turbine #classiccars #mopar #hagertydriversfoundation | Hagerty Drivers Foundation
