Surely others have noticed but no one has mentioned this. The
Chrysler Turbine bears an amazing resemblance to the '61 thru '63 Thunderbirds
(imho). I own a '63 Monaco Landau Thunderbird so maybe I'm just
a little biased. Did Elwood Engel have anything to do with the design of
the Turbine? If so, it would come as no surprise to
me. His design for the '64 Imperial borrowed styling
cues from the extremely popular (then) '61 Continental. And as
many of you know, the Continental started out as a Thunderbird. The two
cars were even built at the same plant (Wixom). Just curious...
