Re: Plymouth Belvedere turbine car

Chrysler made another turbine car, about 6 of them; in 1962 or 63. They were all convertibles I believe, were driven around to places like university campuses, to encourage new engineering graduates to think about a career working for Chrysler. The car we saw was gorgeous, with a notable exhaust outlet built into the rear bumper. While it was driven around the campus one day, none of us who saw it got a ride in it.
None of them were sold to the public as far as I know. About a year later they were all destroyed, as was the case with lots of the promo specials made by the Detroit automakers.
