A guy in my neighborhood had one of these when I was in high school. 1963 Chrysler Turbine Car

Every morning he would drive by me waiting for my bus. It sounded SO cool! There are several other good videos on it. Here's Jay Leno's

I’ve always loved those Chrysler Turbines. Beautiful. If you’ve ever noticed the similarity between those and the ‘61 - ‘63 Thunderbirds, there’s a reason. Elwood Engel, former head stylist at Ford, went to Chrysler. There’s an interesting story behind that, he wasn’t treated especially well by Ford.

My Dad had a Flying A Gas Station in Altadena CA in the 60’s.

One of his Customers got to drive one of the Turbine Cars for a few Months. He took my Dad for a spin in it.

He thought it was pretty cool.
