History of gas turbine vehicles

[bluefury361]

I came across a rare piece of Chrysler ephemera today. Titled "History of Chrysler Corporation-Gas Turbine Vehicles".
A 29 page soft cover published by Chrysler Corporation Engineering Staff, Technical information section. January 1964.
Date range is March 1954 - January 1964........ In NOS condition. First I've ever seen.

Easy and interesting read, not to technical. Mostly a summery of the 10 year project.

Theirs ah "young Lad" up in Minnesota that goes by "TURBOMIKE" ON THE WEB. His father apparently was one of the chosen few that actually drove one of the 50 for how ever long they got to drive them. When I found out he also had an '83 Plymouth GT Scamp I tried to start up ah friend ship with him. Unfortunately In the Plymouth National club he'z one of the few that insists on lining up all the phillips heads on ALL hiz ridez and when I told him that I played and tweaked on ALL my toyz to suit my tastes I got nothing back from him except dead silence, BO-HO ....Nice score Will, Jer

Did you know a fellow, "Jerry Service" from Manchester.....?
