In the Fall of 1964, Chrysler brought the turbine car to Northrop University in Inglewood, CA and let some members of the ASME drive it. Unfortunately, I was studying EE and was not offered a drive. But I got to touch it and marvel at the technology. See ya'all in Pasadena.

Turbine exhaust ? Too hot to stand near back bumper . I remember thinking this can’t be very efficient , but wild looking thing , copper color . Years later I bought both a 68 charger and 70 challenger 440 convert , both copper color . So that car had an impact !! I think steam has more promise . Seriously .—-with modern tech … ?? But all fossil fuel on way out , especially if so inefficient …
