My wife sent me a picture of the Chrysler Turbine car on display in Washington DC at the National mall. They have it in a glass display case. That's pretty freaking cool!
I saw the vid.Supposedly only nine of them survived. The Walter P. Chrysler Museum used to have three of them. I believe that the one Jay Leno has is one of the three. I believe Jay has an extra engine in a crate he was able to purchase with his car. Believe it or not the Ford Museum has one as well. If you have ever seen the video of the rest of the being destroyed, it's pretty hard to watch.
That is probably the one Jay Leno has, supposedly it is the only running example.I saw one running at the Mopar Nationals years ago in Indianapolis. Can't remember if it was in 96' or 97'
My friend that worked with me at Chrysler was in charge of keeping a eye on the one at the museum. The museum is about 5 miles from the plant and the car would come to the plant at least once a year for the plant car show. I was afforded the opportunity to play with it many times.St. Louis museum of transportation has a nice one on display as well. Neat cars!
My wife is going to DC on the 23 of this month to go see Elton John. She is hoping that the Turbine Car will still be on display at the National Mall and hopes to get more pictures of the car.
