"History of Chrysler Corporation Gas Turbine Vehicles," 1966
01
Artifact Overview
This publication documents Chrysler Corporation's efforts to develop a practical gas-turbine-powered vehicle. Many companies experimented with gas turbine cars after World War II, but only Chrysler put them into the public's hands. In 1963, Chrysler lent 50 prototype turbine-powered cars to potential customers to get real-world feedback, but the idea never made it into regular production.
