RE: [Chrysler300] Really neat article on the turbine car in Reminisce magazine

[Albert Vannice <mavche@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

    I believe that Chrysler made about 50 turbine cars along with 4-5 prototypes, and about 9-10 were kept after the rest were dumped in the ocean to avoid paying taxes!!  I was on the Engineering College organizing committee at Michigan State U. in 1963, and I wrote Chrysler if they would bring a turbine car to the weekend exposition -- they said yes, so that was the only turbine car I've ever seen.  I got to ride in it, and it sounded like a big vacuum cleaner, and it would use almost anything burnable as fuel, including perfume with alcohol in it!  I was always disappointed that it never made it as it was a beautiful car.  I'm glad a few are still around.

Regards,

Al Vannice
