The car drives similar to a conventional auto. Turn on the heater and you get instant heat. There is no warming period required after the car is started. Turn the key and the engine fires immediately, even in sub-zero temperatures.
Also, no radiator needed, because the engine is air-cooled. The troublesome ignition problems found in piston engines are eliminated. There is only one spark plug and it is used only for starting purposes (should never need replacing). It has about one-fifth as many moving parts. The turbine engine has many distinct advantages over the piston engine. even books were written about the “turbine car”. "Wh-o-o-o-sh, Here Comes the Turbine" Hot Rod Magazine, July 1963įurther, the turbine car was the subject of repeated nation-wide television coverage, newspaper articles.

They have been hard at work for many, many years. Actually, Chrysler Corporation made about 50 turbine cars at that time and “loaned” them out to the general public in various cities around the country.
