1963 Chrysler Turbine - Rocket Car

It's a car... with a Rocket turbine?

From 1962-1964 Chrysler built turbine "rocket cars" that sounded like a jet engine when running. They were very rare and today are considered one of the most collectible cars in the world. Jay Leno has one in his garage.


"Between 1949 and 1981, Chrysler built seven different generations of turbine test vehicles. The company's shaky finances, the challenge of reducing the engine's NOX output, the oil embargo and the need to downsize cars for front-wheel drive all hurt the Turbine's chances. I think it's the most collectible American car—it was so different. Most of all, the Chrysler Turbine is a reminder that all the cool stuff used to be made in the U.S. I hope it will be again."


Also lots of chrome...chrome everywhere. The 60s sure loved their chrome.
