Description


I never knew this until I found this on wiki. Then my project car began. 1963 Chrysler Turbine This turbine powered car would run on unleaded gasoline, kerosene, JP-4 jet fuel, vegetable oil,. peanut oil, French perfume, brandy and even tequila!! And: No transmission, no radiator, no antifreeze, no carburetor, no pistons, no smog, and only one spark plug. Chrysler Turbine Cars were automobiles powered by gas turbine engines that the Chrysler Corporation assembled in a small plant in Detroit, Michigan, USA in 1963, for use in the only consumer test of gas turbine-powered cars. Of the total 55 units built (5 prototypes and 50 "production" cars), most were scrapped at the end of a trial period, with only a handful remaining in museums and private collections. It was the high point of Chrysler's decades-long project to build a practical turbine-powered car. The absence of a distributor and points, the solitary start-up spark plug and the lack of liquid coolant eased maintenance, while the exhaust did not contain carbon monoxide, unburned carbon, or raw hydrocarbons. Nevertheless, the turbine generated nitrogen oxides and the challenge of limiting them proved an ongoing problem throughout development. You really need to check out the videos and read the article below. It is very informative.

For some reason one of these cars drove through my podunk hometown in the early 60s. I was up on all the new cars so I knew what it was, but seeing it in person was like watching an alien spaceship pass by.
