Subject: [FWDLK] Turbine Cars
Hi to all,
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?
