APPROXIMATELY 200 SELECTED MOTORISTS throughout the nation will drive the Chrysler Corporation Turbine Car as part of an unprecedented consumer evaluation program to determine market potential for turbine power. Under a no-charge use agreement with the company, each motorist will use the turbine car for up to three months beginning this fall. The Chrysler Corporation Turbine Car was designed for the company's twin-regenerator turbine engine. This new engine weighs only 410 pounds and delivers 130 horsepower, equivalent in over-all car performance to a V-8 piston engine of more than 200 horsepower. "Swept back" rear styling accents the smooth, sculptured lines of the turbine car. The Turbine Bronze exterior color - exclusive to the turbine car - complements the copper-colored interior, which features four individual contoured bucket seats and a unique full length console.


Creation Year: 1964
