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?
