As I understand it,
exhaust temperatures that literally set the asphalt on fire was one of the
reasons?

Subject: [FWDLK] Turbine
Cars
I seen that Chrysler
put a Turbine engine in a 1955 Plymouth and then in a 1963 Chrysler.
Does any one know how it worked out in the Plymouth and why Chrysler did not keep up the
turbine concept. Also I did see the 1963 Chrysler Turbine car drive past
my spots at Chryslers @ Carlisle a few years ago and was able to meet the
owner and take a few photos. Again why did Chrysler not keep this
going. I also was told by my friend who is a car salesman at the
oldest Chrysler Dealership in the country (that is stilled owned by the
original owners) that the 1963 Chrysler Turbine came to this dealership in
1963 and he got to ride in it. He still is a salesman there.
The owner still comes in every day and when in town, I stop by and see
him. He is 89 years old.
Any way back to
the turbine cars. Any one know why Chrysler didn't pursue this more and
produce these for the public?
