And here's some more info on the Chrysler Turbine. In 1963 and 1964 Chrysler gave 50 turbine cars to families across the USA for a two year experiment. They were built by Ghia in Italy. The cars were styled by Chuck Mashigan under the direction of Chrysler's design chief, Elwood Engel. Engel had just been headhunted from Ford, and brought Mashigan with him, so it?s no coincidence the Chryslers looked a lot like the 1961 Thunderbird that Mashigan had worked on at Ford with a Dodge Dart grafted onto the front end. Chrysler insiders called the cars Engelbirds. Mashigan's first version of the turbine was called the Chrysler Typhoon. It was a two seater. It was re-worked into the four place coupe for the main project. At the conclusion of the trial all but nine were destroyed. Six had their engines removed and given to museums. Of the three working cars, two are at the Chrysler Heritage Museum in Detroit. Talk show host Jay Leno owns, and drives, the other one.They are located as follows: Museum of Transportation, St. Louis, Missouri (Active),Gilmore Car Museum, Hickory Corners, Michigan (Inactive),Walter P. Chrysler Museum, Auburn Hills, Michigan (Two active),Private Collection in Terre Haute, Indiana (Active),Henry Ford Museum, Dearborn, Michigan (Inactive),Jay Leno's Private Collection in Burbank, California (Active), Los Angeles County Natural History Museum, Los Angeles, California (Inactive) and the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C.(Inactive). Two great books on these cars are: Chrysler Concept Cars, by David Fetherston and Tony Thacker, and Chrysler?s Turbine Car, by Steve Letho, with contributions by Jay Leno. Here's a pic of the Typhoon and the interior of the Turbine at the now closed Chrysler Museum.
