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."

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
