Those of us that attended Len Astroth's meet in St. Louis back in the 90'S??
all had a chance to ride in one that the Museum of Transportation Allowed us
to inspect close up. They brought it out in the rain even!! What a hoot. I
have a lot of it on video that I sent to Bob Merritt, some of which has made
it to YouTube.

Hello 300'ly to all!
I remember standing outside the Chrysler Pavillion at the New York World's
Fair  of 1964-1965 at Flushing Meadows Park, Queens, New York City.  I stood
for an hour with my Dad watching 2 different colored Turbine cars being
driven around the paved loop circling the pavillion.  One was completely
gold and another was the turbine bronze with the black vinyl roof.  Later
during the show inside the pavillion a white one was rolled onto the stage
with great fanfare.  Fast forward 3 years later and one of our Boy Scout
Camp leaders was affiliated with Syracuse University's Department of
Transportation studies and was telling us about his 3 month on-loan driving
studies with the Turbine car.  The alternative fuels that could be used with
that engine was really avant guard technology that would still be highly
applicable today!  Rob Kern

    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

Smithsonian has one, Jay Leno has one and The rumers are that two more
