“What you gonna do when you get out of jail?…” part 413

Did you know that Chrysler built turbine powered cars?

I’m not talking about the one that raced at Indy: Chrysler had an active program from (roughly) the 1950s to 1979 developing turbine powered passenger cars. Between 1963 and 1964, they produced 55 cars.

“Here’s why the government made Chrysler destroy its 46 jet cars.”

(I know the numbers don’t quite match: Chrysler kept two, five are in museums, and two are privately owned.)

Bonus #1: “The Mazda RX-8 Is a Fun Car You Probably Shouldn’t Buy”.

Bonus #2: Breaking slightly from the car theme, but…”Evel Knievel: The True Story” from 1998.
