Ever seen the 1964 movie "The Lively Set".
a remake of the 1954 film "Johnny Dark". The Lively Set featured the Chrysler Turbine car, and turbines in general. One of my favorite films.
The History Channel has a video available on the Chrysler Turbine car and its history, including its sad destruction when it was scrapped. That film is also on the internet....a tear jerker.
