A few weeks ago, someone brought up the subject of Chrysler’s 1963 “Turbine Car”, and I stumbled on a 25 minute video of the car at Jay Leno’s garage. The video actually contains actual Chrysler footage explaining car, which if I heard correct, there were only about 55 of them ever produced, and Chrysler rounded them up to destroy them to keep themselves out of trouble. However, the one that Jay Leno owns, he recently got from Chrysler, although I didn’t hear the explanation of how that happened. The car ran on just about anything that burned, and in the vintage 1963 video included, Chrysler even mentioned "unleaded" gasoline. Unleaded gasoline in 1963? Where? The car had a “regenerator” to diffuse the heat so that it didn’t burn the paint off of the car behind it or start any fires. It actually ran cooler than an internal combustion engine. This video has the car running and Jay driving it. If you can spare 25 minutes, the innovations will get and keep your attention, because once it does, its hard to put down. Enjoy the fact that Jay Leno’s garage doesn’t have any tractors…
