<VV> Flat six at Indy?OT Turbine car

[moonpie8n at comcast.net]

NOW YOU GUYS HAVE REALLY DONE IT !!!! 
U got me remembering the "OLD DAYS"............ 
The first shot is a pic of a Gurney/Westlake Ford , ... like the one in the,"Going Thing" [except the one in the going thing had Hilborn injection , not webers]. The second is a pic of "Miss Jenny" [Gordy Reed driving] sponsored by Genessee beer out of Canada. MAN !!!! That Lauterbach would ,"WHISTLE". I only wish I could include a pic of Bill Bunn's ,Corvair powered "Renegade",but, all those pics got destroyed in a fire many years ago. The great thing is the hull is in the process of being restored , "Sprinkler System" , Exhaust thru the bottom , and everything original [thank heavens I held on to all that stuff]. Pictures will be coming 2011.....

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.

Has an original dealer promo, and sales brochur for the Turbine car
