Wynne HERALD AND NEWS, Klamath Falls, Oregon Sunday, May 26, 1963 PAGE 3 Mobil Offers Travel Guide TURBINE AUTO The world s first tamily-siie passenger car specifically engineered and designed for turbine power is shown here as unveiled recently by Chrysler Cor poration. Fifty of the turbine cars will be built and tested in various parts of the coun try to test consumer reaction and acquire drive experience. Chrysler Introduces Hew Turbine Vehicle Chrysler Corporation took a gi-i ant step into the future with its introduction of the world's first family - size passenger car spe- cilically engineered and designed for turbine power. The Chrysler Corporation Tur bine Car represents a completely new idea in passenger cars. Con temporary and individual in style, powered by Hie company's fourth generation turbine engine, it embodies the turbine engi neering achievements of a dec ade of intensive engineering, re search and development. The turbine car was unveiled recently at a special news pre view. Robert Anderson, vice president. Product Planning; El- wood P. Engel, vice president and director. Styling: and George J. Heubner Jr.. executive engineer, Research, discussed distribution, styling and engineering of the car. Newsmen drove the car at the Roosevelt Raceway. Tlie company will build 50 of the turbine cars. They will be dis tributed to selected users begin ning this fall in a consumer test program. Each user will have a turbine car for periods of up to three montlis under a no-charge use agreement. The turbine car will be built in one body style only a four passenger, two-door hardtop and in only one color Turbine Bronze. Anderson called the test-pro gram "a Chrysler first," for never before has any company placed'' a new and revolutionary type of vehicle in the hands o motorists for the purpose of test ing consumer reaction and study ing a wide range of driver cxperi-encc." Drivers of the 50 turbine cars Smiley Burnette To Appear Here A celebrated radio and movie singer-comedian. Smiley Burnette. will make a two-day appearance In Klamath rails on Tuesday and Wednesday, May 28 and 29 Burnett w ill be present f o r three shows nightly at the Olson Motors used car lot on South Sixth Street, according to Bill James manager of the auto firm. He will put on a show at 5:30 p.m., 5:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., James said. .15 I be asked (or data coverin: a broad range of their motoring experience with the new ve hide: its behavior on turnpikes. over cross-country roads, in ci ties, in various geographical areas and climates. Consumer reaction. Anderson declared, "could result in such unqualified customer accep tance that we would be encour aged to accelerate our entire tur bine program but on the other hand it could reveal unexpected: problems that send us back to our engineering laboratories for further research and develop ment. "Each of these cars," Ander son continued, "when it comes back to Chrvsler Corporation af ter its year of duty in the hands of four users, will be returned to1 our engineering laboratories to! undergo a painstaking examina tion. What we learn in our inter views with the users will be cor related and checked against what we learn in our laboratory tests. "V?e believe that our turbine .car has revolutionary possibilities. At (lie same time, we are mak ing no promises, no commitments to the motoring public regarding the time w hen a turbine-powered automobile will be available for purchase by a customer who walks into one of our dealerships. There is still much to be learned about this kind of auto mobile as an all-purpose passen ger car and about the methods needed for building it in volume," he concluded. Design and style of the Chrys ler Turbine Car were detailed by Engel, who was rcsponsibile for the styling: "It is a completely new vehicle It is not related to any piston engine product. It has a person ality of its own. It performs the functional requirements of a stan dard car. It provides comfortable transportation for four adult pas sengers." The new turbine car, Engel pointed, out, has a wheelbase of 110 inches, and is 201.6 inch es in over-all length. It is 2'i inches wide and 5:) inches high Inside the car a tubular con sole runs the length of tlie car from fire wall to tiic rear of the interior. All controls are posi tioned for easy driver accessibil ity. There are four bucket seats C. Ingram Retires Weyerhaeuser Company an nounced today the retirement of Charles H.
