while in another episode of Jay Leno's
00:00:41
Garage this is gonna be kind of an
00:00:42
extended one today because this is uh
00:00:44
let's call this a special edition one
00:00:47
because we're dealing with a car that
00:00:49
was well a car then I lusted after since
00:00:52
I was 14 years old this is the Chrysler
00:00:54
Turbine car 1963 we are going to do a
00:00:58
road test will drive the car will show
00:01:00
you what it sounds like what it feels
00:01:02
like on the road and I show you some
00:01:03
vintage footage that has very rarely
00:01:06
been seen about the first turbine car
00:01:08
being shipped over from
00:01:09
Ghia and Italy will show you a
00:01:11
promotional film that's just very
00:01:14
sixties you know a film that was shot in
00:01:17
the time when America do anything go to
00:01:19
the moon build jet cars and it's when
00:01:22
Chrysler was really I think in its
00:01:24
heyday and we also have a book review as
00:01:29
well a friend of mine Steve Leto wrote a
00:01:30
book about this turbine car and I did
00:01:34
the foreword for the book we're here
00:01:35
Steve and I doing the book review check
00:01:37
this out this is Steve Leto he's his
00:01:39
author of Chrysler's turbine car the
00:01:42
rise and fall of Detroit's coolest
00:01:44
creation I first got involved with the
00:01:47
turbine car 1964 it's 14 years old I
00:01:51
went to the World's Fair specifically to
00:01:54
see this car and they had an app it
00:01:55
going around and around receive as well
00:01:57
I know I didn't see it there but I saw
00:01:58
so you weren't even born you're like
00:02:00
three I was - at the time - I was 14 and
00:02:03
I was so taken with the car this is a
00:02:06
sound that made and how cool it looked
00:02:08
and it really seemed like the future and
00:02:11
I was fortunate enough a couple of years
00:02:13
ago to obtain one of these cars there's
00:02:16
only two of them in private hands and I
00:02:18
can attest it's really exciting
00:02:19
automobile on the cover is a man named
00:02:21
Bill Kerry he is the guy who was one of
00:02:24
the engineers on this project originally
00:02:25
one thing he got - yeah he's only got to
00:02:27
repair them when they broke down right
00:02:28
most knowledgeable technician when it
00:02:30
comes to turbine cars probably alive
00:02:31
today so tell us how you got involved
00:02:33
with the project and what brought you to
00:02:35
write the book well I grew up in Detroit
00:02:37
and as a small child I remember seeing
00:02:39
these cars on the road and then they
00:02:41
disappeared I'm always wondering what
00:02:43
happened to them yeah and that's the
00:02:44
amazing story is that at one point in
00:02:46
time there are 55 cars 54 of them this
00:02:48
exact same color identical
00:02:50
and then a few years later they actually
00:02:52
rounded them all up and destroyed them
00:02:54
right that's the kind of thing that
00:02:55
really gets you as a car lover yeah yeah
00:02:58
I know well because of the various laws
00:03:00
and I think they were afraid that people
00:03:03
would pull the turbine engines out and
00:03:04
put a Hemi in them and all this kind of
00:03:06
stuff and ruin the purity of the whole
00:03:07
design right decided you know did the
00:03:09
same thing with the ev1 electric car I
00:03:11
mean one electric yeah big three are
00:03:12
famous for destroying their prototypes
00:03:14
and even though they built a fleet of
00:03:15
them they considered the whole fleet in
00:03:16
essence a program experiment interesting
00:03:19
when these cars were decommissioned they
00:03:21
were offered to museums there all around
00:03:23
the country and no museums wanted them
00:03:25
because at the time they were fairly new
00:03:26
cars a man named George Huebner mai-san
00:03:29
his name yes yeah judge Huebner was sort
00:03:31
of the whole brains behind the turbine
00:03:34
Carl yeah and he was the guy he was an
00:03:36
extraverted engineer if there's such a
00:03:38
thing yeah and he was so good at
00:03:40
promotion he realized that every time he
00:03:42
took one of these cars out of it caused
00:03:43
a commotion what they did was 203 people
00:03:46
were given the car for three months and
00:03:51
they would sort of keep a diary you know
00:03:53
and tell about their experiences with
00:03:55
the car the idea was to put a jet car
00:03:58
out on the market the advantages were it
00:04:01
would burn any fuel when they took this
00:04:02
car to Mexico they ran a none tequila
00:04:05
yeah when they took it to Paris they ran
00:04:08
it on the Chanel number five shampoo
00:04:10
shampoo Chanel number five perfume right
00:04:12
the car will run with any fuel that
00:04:16
burns with oxygen but see back in 1964
00:04:19
that was not really advantage because
00:04:21
gas was 23 cents to 27 cents a gallon
00:04:24
and for most people the fact that it was
00:04:26
an alternative fuel vehicle was actually
00:04:28
a deterrent that's one sparkplug you
00:04:30
never need to change the oil or anything
00:04:33
it doesn't get contaminated
00:04:35
there's no warming up process it was
00:04:38
pretty amazing I mean think back to 1964
00:04:40
when places like China and other places
00:04:43
in Asia around the world they barely had
00:04:46
they barely had auto piston engines they
00:04:49
barely had internal combustion engines
00:04:51
here were Americans driving around in
00:04:52
jet cars just like just like the Jetsons
00:04:55
essentially the rest of the world was
00:04:56
the Flintstones and America was the
00:04:58
Jetsons trouble with the car was I think
00:05:01
the fuel mileage was not great
00:05:03
on the highway it would get about 19
00:05:06
miles per gallon which is pretty good
00:05:07
but around town it would just be awful
00:05:10
because it is idling at 22,000 rpm
00:05:13
just like a jet would just suck fuel so
00:05:16
that was a major major disadvantage
00:05:18
people ask me how fast is it it's about
00:05:21
the same as like a 318 Chrysler was not
00:05:24
meant to be a race car right was not
00:05:25
meant to be a high-performance car was
00:05:28
meant to be a practical usable you a
00:05:30
useable vehicle trouble why it didn't go
00:05:33
forward was as I said upcoming emissions
00:05:35
because Jets are very dirty right and it
00:05:39
was expensive to produce in terms of
00:05:41
producing Jets jet engine determines the
00:05:44
engines it was quite cheap but against
00:05:46
the internal combustion engine that was
00:05:47
expensive and quite frankly it wasn't
00:05:51
that much better it's kind of like the
00:05:53
Wankel engine now the wincle engine is
00:05:56
lighter and smoother than a piston
00:05:58
engine but the fuel mileage is not very
00:06:01
good so consequently it never really
00:06:04
moved forward it's got to be better in
00:06:06
all aspects it can't be even equal and
00:06:08
at that exact moment that those things
00:06:10
all happened Chrysler hit their first
00:06:12
financial bad spot exactly forget that
00:06:14
Chrysler although they went bankrupt a
00:06:15
few years ago also had trouble in the
00:06:17
late 60s and early 70s and when they
00:06:19
made the choice are we gonna tool up to
00:06:21
mass-produce these cars or not they
00:06:23
couldn't even if they had wanted to now
00:06:25
before we drive the car we're getting
00:06:27
there let me show you the footage that I
00:06:29
was talking about a little bit earlier
00:06:31
this is the very first turbine car
00:06:33
coming from Italy once again I want to
00:06:37
thank Mark Olsen so this extremely rare
00:06:40
bit of taper
00:06:42
what you're seeing is the very first
00:06:44
production turbine car body it's January
00:06:46
1963 and this is the first of 55
00:06:49
hand-built bodies from Ghia of italy the
00:06:52
executives the engineers all luck on
00:06:54
while the lab workers use hammers and
00:06:56
crowbars to open this huge crate for the
00:06:58
first five bodies were delivered a
00:07:00
Highland Park could be used for final
00:07:01
adjustment and testing there they are
00:07:03
pushing the top off these first five
00:07:06
were prototypes and we're not at all
00:07:07
identical to the bodies used for the
00:07:10
program delivery
00:07:11
there's the Ghia and signior right there
00:07:13
from Italy now that black cloth was put
00:07:16
over the body to protect it from auto
00:07:18
paparazzi outside the fence trying to
00:07:20
give it you know a complete photo of the
00:07:22
cars they had crated it now this very
00:07:24
first body had a black interior and the
00:07:28
most prominent difference were the
00:07:29
emblems on the rear of the car that
00:07:31
identified it as a typhoon that was the
00:07:35
name of the two-seat non-functional
00:07:36
prototype turbine car that looked a lot
00:07:39
like the final four seat version that
00:07:40
was finally delivered to the users now
00:07:43
one of these first five was painted all
00:07:44
white and was in a movie called the
00:07:46
lively sat James Darren they go typhoon
00:07:49
James Darren played a race car driver
00:07:51
you got to see the lively said you gotta
00:07:54
buy it I've seen this movie 50 times
00:07:55
just to see the turbine car here's the
00:07:57
poster well here's that movie I talked
00:07:59
about the lively set as Doug McClure as
00:08:03
James Darren Randy Newman actually did
00:08:06
the music for this film
00:08:09
look they live these thrills they made
00:08:12
the turbine car look a little different
00:08:14
and in the film you know the turbine car
00:08:17
beats all the piston engine cars because
00:08:19
it's lighter and faster and all that
00:08:20
kind of stuff but if you want to see
00:08:22
some footage of the turbine car in
00:08:24
action it's actually it's pretty good
00:08:26
from that point of view but you know
00:08:29
it's just one of those sixties kind of
00:08:30
movies it's a little silly well yeah
00:08:32
let's get let's get back to our footage
00:08:34
notice everybody's wearing a hat men in
00:08:37
hats there you go well so marveling at
00:08:40
the turbine engine there now here is a
00:08:42
glimpse of the only turbine car assembly
00:08:44
line in the history of the automobile
00:08:45
this plant was located just north of
00:08:48
i-96
00:08:49
on the Greenfield Road near Detroit
00:08:51
Michigan now Lynn Townsend is a
00:08:53
gentleman with a lighter brown suit he's
00:08:54
the president of clyde chrysler
00:08:56
corporation and he's being shown around
00:08:58
the plant by George Huebner again the
00:09:01
genius behind the whole turbine car deal
00:09:03
Robert Brown is another identified
00:09:06
executive unidentified he take kids in
00:09:08
there I'm not sure what 20 years but
00:09:10
Greenfield is where this all came
00:09:11
together this is where the bodies are
00:09:13
shipped from Italy and connected with
00:09:15
the engines built in the engineering lab
00:09:17
at Highland Park see that the engine
00:09:20
transmission suspension brakes steering wheel all
00:09:22
assembled a single unit mounted on a
00:09:24
rolling stand that assembly could then
00:09:26
be moved under the raised body and
00:09:28
attached with just four huge bolts now
00:09:32
all the electrical equipment and rear
00:09:34
suspension is assembled to the bodies as
00:09:36
well work progresses the rate of about
00:09:39
one finished turbine car per week so
00:09:41
these were truly handmade automobiles
00:09:44
one car week I mean every floor needs to
00:09:47
make one every what 30 minutes something
00:09:50
like that so I chose you the amount of
00:09:53
care that went to this assembly of these
00:09:55
cars now you're gonna see mr. Townsend
00:09:57
get into a finished turbine car and
00:09:59
drive it off the assembly line pretty
00:10:04
cool piece of history from there went to
00:10:07
the Chrysler motor division for braking
00:10:09
and adjustment before was delivered to
00:10:10
the first user now the next piece of
00:10:14
tape you're gonna see I this is really
00:10:15
great again I think mark mark Olson this
00:10:18
is a
00:10:20
Kreisler promotional film and I just
00:10:23
like the narrator's voice in the whole
00:10:24
sixties attitude like we can do any
00:10:27
yes the Chrysler Turbine car is madness
00:10:30
poet over a decade of research and
00:10:33
testing had evolved the most advanced
00:10:36
most practical gas turbine engine ever
00:10:39
specifically designed for automobiles
00:10:41
but now that this engineering
00:10:44
achievement is here perhaps it would be
00:10:46
well to consider just what is a turbine
00:10:51
what is a turban actually a turban is a
00:10:54
highly advanced use of one of man's
00:10:56
oldest means for creating power to do
00:10:59
work the windmill the windmill as most
00:11:02
of us know it consists of a number of
00:11:04
curved blades called vanes mounted on an
00:11:07
axle a breeze blowing against these
00:11:10
vanes causes the windmill to turn and to
00:11:13
supply power to do many kinds of jobs as
00:11:15
the wind increases the windmill spins
00:11:18
faster provides more power the turbine
00:11:21
acting as a controlled windmill makes
00:11:24
today's jet airplanes possible but its
00:11:27
use in a passenger automobile is
00:11:29
substantially different first we'll lift
00:11:32
the hood and the gas turbine car for a
00:11:33
look at the engine now looking down on
00:11:36
the engine we can through the use of
00:11:38
animation get a clearer picture of how
00:11:41
the turbine engine works to perform
00:11:43
efficiently the functions of an
00:11:45
automotive power plant Chrysler
00:11:47
corporation's gas turbine was designed
00:11:49
with these main units air compressor
00:11:52
combustion chamber first turbine wheel
00:11:55
for compressor drive second turbine
00:11:58
wheel for driving the car three
00:12:00
generators or heat exchangers the air
00:12:03
compressor sucks in outside air and
00:12:06
compresses or squeezes it to raise its
00:12:08
pressure compressing the air raises its
00:12:12
temperature to more than 425 degrees
00:12:14
Fahrenheit this compressed hot air flows
00:12:18
through the regenerator where it is
00:12:20
further heated to more than 1,000
00:12:22
degrees Fahrenheit then into the
00:12:24
combustion chamber into which the fuel
00:12:26
is prayed the fuel ignited by a single
00:12:29
spark plug is burned and further raises
00:12:32
the air temperature to 1700 degrees then
00:12:36
this now red-hot tornado of air or gas
00:12:39
forces its way past the blades of the
00:12:41
first turbine whose job it is to turn
00:12:43
the air compressor regenerators oil pump
00:12:46
fuel control and other necessary
00:12:49
accessories to make your car function
00:12:52
the hot gas then turns the second
00:12:55
turbine which is connected to the rear
00:12:57
wheels to drive your car but that isn't
00:13:00
the whole story of the turbine engines
00:13:01
operation to other major elements make
00:13:04
the gas turbine engine practical for use
00:13:06
in a passenger car after leaving the
00:13:09
combustion chamber and passing through
00:13:11
the two turbine wheels there is a dip in
00:13:13
the temperature of the gases as they
00:13:15
flow to the exhaust but the gases retain
00:13:18
large amounts of heat which would be
00:13:20
wasted if merely allowed to escape
00:13:22
unhindered through the exhaust pipe to
00:13:24
blister the paint of cars following so a
00:13:27
device for salvaging this heat is placed
00:13:30
in the path of the out rushing gases
00:13:32
this is the famous Chrysler originated
00:13:35
rotary regenerator which is basically a
00:13:38
heat exchanger to more easily understand
00:13:41
the role of the regenerator let us take
00:13:43
a closer look to do the job the
00:13:46
regenerators turns slowly transferring
00:13:49
heat energy from the exhaust gasses
00:13:51
through a special heat transfer surfaces
00:13:53
to the high-pressure cooler air being
00:13:56
pushed by the compressor on its way to
00:13:58
the burner this eases the burners job of
00:14:02
raising the gases temperature on their
00:14:03
way to the turbines this preheated air
00:14:07
requires less fuel and permits the
00:14:09
turbine to develop fuel economy
00:14:11
comparable to a piston engine in the
00:14:13
Chrysler Turbine the air itself is
00:14:16
turned by special curved blades called
00:14:18
nozzle vanes these vanes changed their
00:14:21
position to direct the stream of hot gas
00:14:24
against the turbine blades at different
00:14:26
angles economy for cruising or greater
00:14:29
power for acceleration or even a braking
00:14:33
effect for slowing and stopping in spite
00:14:36
of the increased efficiency of the
00:14:38
engine the gas turbine is simplicity
00:14:40
itself it has only about one-fifth as
00:14:43
many moving parts as the common christen
00:14:45
engine because it is soft cooled the
00:14:49
turbine needs no radiator nor antifreeze
00:14:52
there are no timed events in the turbine
00:14:54
engine no need for a distributor nor a
00:14:57
carburetor there are no taffet's no valves finally
00:15:01
no Pistons rushing up and down in their
00:15:04
individual cylinders in the turbine
00:15:07
engine you have a smoothly efficient
00:15:09
operating system which burns almost any
00:15:12
available fuel unleaded gasoline
00:15:14
kerosene diesel fuel
00:15:18
jet fuel you have no low temperatures
00:15:21
starting difficulties no engine warm up
00:15:24
period necessary
00:15:36
battery in the trunk is pretty common
00:15:39
now but back in the 60s it was pretty
00:15:42
unorthodox
00:15:43
here's your battery pack in here so
00:15:46
you've got two 12-volt batteries and
00:15:49
it's important to keep those charged up
00:15:51
because this thing takes a lot of energy
00:15:53
charge got your spare tire very
00:15:55
conventional trunk the rear end of this
00:15:57
thing is my favorite just a styling to
00:16:01
the forces they might say it's just this
00:16:03
side of being excessive but I just love
00:16:06
the look of the rear of this thing and
00:16:07
let's go into the hood there it is right
00:16:11
there this is that big air filter I was
00:16:14
talking about earlier that keeps
00:16:15
everything quiet as you can see this is
00:16:18
some kind of cast iron alloy doesn't
00:16:20
look like any jet engine I've ever seen
00:16:22
you never got all these sixties type
00:16:24
connectors on here
00:16:25
you got engine our meter there alright
00:16:27
we're about ready to take her for a
00:16:29
drive but first you got to hear it start
00:16:31
that's the coolest part
00:16:44
I want to tell you how smooth this
00:16:45
engine is
00:16:50
as you can see the water doesn't move at
00:16:52
all what movement there is is just a
00:16:54
residual effect of me putting the glass
00:16:55
down look at that
00:16:57
look up
00:16:58
how smooth that is pretty amazing
00:17:05
suddenly it's 1964 I should get here
00:17:09
it's fairly quiet inside the car thank
00:17:11
you very quiet inside the car I love the
00:17:13
dashboard very Porsche like with the
00:17:14
three big dials their tachometer notice
00:17:17
she idles at 22,000 rpm first thing I
00:17:21
did was fix the clock I like that
00:17:23
everything works phenomena fuel gauge
00:17:24
radio works radio works good and you got
00:17:28
your classic 60s if you watch a show Mad
00:17:31
Men people love to smoke got a little
00:17:33
water damage here I've got to clean that
00:17:35
I like what says turbine power by
00:17:37
Chrysler Corporation a little piece of
00:17:40
gold trim that gold should go all the
00:17:42
way around the inside of this wheel and
00:17:43
we will put that on there when we get
00:17:45
some more than gold tape this is my
00:17:47
favorite interior styling element you
00:17:49
know when this is the Auto Show people
00:17:51
thought this is where the the jet
00:17:53
exhaust came down the center of the car
00:17:55
not true I mean there are turbine blades
00:17:57
front and back to give it the look of a
00:17:59
turbine car this is your gear lever here
00:18:02
for reverse and easier lights easier
00:18:06
wipers the blower switch and the rear
00:18:08
defroster terior lights the car has
00:18:12
electric windows which was considered a
00:18:15
big la-dee-da item back in the 60s most
00:18:17
people still had roll-up windows this
00:18:20
whole pillarless coupe thing when you
00:18:22
put down that rear window I think it
00:18:24
looks very very elegant and you have
00:18:28
your adjustable outside mirror from the
00:18:29
inside as well this is all an original
00:18:33
car and since I got it from Chrysler I
00:18:36
am the first owner so I am the original
00:18:38
owner of this car which is kind of fun
00:18:40
because you never really own cars like
00:18:42
this you just sort of become the
00:18:43
custodian you know you try to save it
00:18:45
preserve it for the next person
00:18:47
in fact when I got it had a little dings
00:18:49
up and down the side of the car just
00:18:51
some opening it and parking lots and
00:18:53
doors hitting against it whatnot and a
00:18:56
buddy of mine was one of those debt
00:18:58
master places you know and he came out
00:18:59
with those little tools Bing Bing Bing
00:19:01
took out all the debts never harmed the
00:19:03
original paint or anything so
00:19:04
I'm not quite sure this is original
00:19:07
paint I think this might have been
00:19:08
retouched up by Chrysler over the years
00:19:10
but it's certainly the original paint it
00:19:13
was used and it was done by Chrysler so
00:19:15
for that sense I'll call it original
00:19:17
just enough of a turbine whine noise to
00:19:20
make it interesting but almost like an
00:19:22
electric car in its smoothness I mean
00:19:24
this thing was so far ahead of its time
00:19:26
I can't imagine any manufacturer trying
00:19:29
an experiment as bold as this these days
00:19:32
everything else is fairly traditional
00:19:34
look your turbine car starting procedure
00:19:36
it says turn off an engine if
00:19:37
temperature exceeds 1600 degrees engine
00:19:40
temperatures begin to drop off within
00:19:42
two minutes to stabilize near 1,400 must
00:19:45
be below 1500 for attempting to move or
00:19:47
flame out will occur this engine tends
00:19:49
to run just a little bit hotter I think
00:19:52
there's some kind of carbon seals that
00:19:53
allow air to come in and I think that
00:19:55
makes it run a little bit hotter than it
00:19:57
should but it's not bad it seems okay it
00:19:59
seems okay but everything else is pretty
00:20:01
much sixties Chrysler as I said it uses
00:20:04
a TorqueFlite transmission it just uses
00:20:07
the turbine as the torque converter you
00:20:09
couldn't do burnouts in this car you
00:20:11
have to torque load it what that means
00:20:13
you put your foot on the brake get the
00:20:14
revs up and take your foot off the brake
00:20:16
but I don't want to do that to the
00:20:18
engine blades or the transmission but
00:20:21
that that little movie is on that kind
00:20:23
of explained how the whole thing work
00:20:24
I'm always amazed at how many car guys I
00:20:27
meet in their 30s and 40s that never
00:20:30
heard of this car what what is that I
00:20:32
mean this is a real piece of automotive
00:20:34
history I think it's probably one of the
00:20:36
most important post-war American cars of
00:20:39
all time because it was designed from
00:20:41
the ground up to be totally different
00:20:43
although it uses many stock Chrysler
00:20:46
components like brakes and essentially
00:20:48
the transmission the whole idea behind
00:20:50
it was so revolutionary at the time and
00:20:53
still is
00:20:56
and I think it's a beautiful looking
00:20:58
automobile not overly styled it doesn't
00:21:01
look like a jet car you know with bubble
00:21:03
roofs and all that kind of stuff
00:21:04
it just looks I think very elegant and
00:21:07
very restrained especially for the
00:21:09
period to this day this car still turns
00:21:12
heads I still get a thrill every time I
00:21:14
take this car out even though this car
00:21:15
is almost 50 years old it just feels
00:21:19
like this is where we should have been
00:21:21
by now smooth quiet the most incredible
00:21:25
heater you could imagine you'd certainly
00:21:27
heater on in this thing especially
00:21:29
you're in Detroit you turn the heater on
00:21:31
in two minutes the whole car would be
00:21:32
defrosted but the exhaust coming out the
00:21:35
back is quite cool as we mentioned
00:21:38
earlier there's a lot of myths about the
00:21:41
Chrysler Turbine car some of them
00:21:43
actually make me angry I read in a
00:21:45
popular automobile magazine that the
00:21:47
reason the Chrysler Turbine car wasn't
00:21:49
produced was well it stopped lights they
00:21:51
would melt the asphalt or they would set
00:21:53
the grass on fire on a dirt road nothing
00:21:56
could be further from the truth
00:21:57
Chrysler worked very hard to make sure
00:21:59
the exhaust chemise engine is actually
00:22:01
cooler than a piston engine vehicle
00:22:04
about 140 degrees they use regenerators
00:22:07
to recirculate the hot gases until they
00:22:10
were cool enough to come out of the
00:22:11
exhaust there was real thinking behind
00:22:13
this car
00:22:14
that's why Chrysler has always been the
00:22:16
engineering company what this thing was
00:22:19
meant to be was just an incredible
00:22:21
highway Cruiser let's take it up on the
00:22:26
freeway and see what she does
00:22:33
in this car is exactly as it left the
00:22:36
factory right down to the bias ply tires
00:22:38
you know I was going to put radials on
00:22:40
it but Bill Kerry so no no no you can
00:22:43
it's it's got a ride like it did when it
00:22:45
was new if you get that classic sort of
00:22:48
Chrysler Boulevard ride but the bias
00:22:50
plies aren't bad hobbly this is not a
00:22:55
car you're going to do a Burnout with
00:22:56
and since there are no parts available
00:22:59
for this engine I like to drive it
00:23:01
fairly easily so 70 75 miles an hour
00:23:06
that's a good speed for this he'll do
00:23:08
well over that but I don't take a much
00:23:11
higher than that
00:23:13
these were ready to go into production
00:23:14
but sadly because of the price and
00:23:17
upcoming emissions it just wasn't being
00:23:20
viable but it was great to see a company
00:23:22
like Chrysler take a chance on something
00:23:24
like this
00:23:26
well lad you could tell this video was a
00:23:28
little bit longer than the other ones
00:23:30
because well it's a lot more story to
00:23:32
tell Steve's book is terrific Steve Leto
00:23:35
thank you so much for writing the book
00:23:37
and asking me to do the foreword and
00:23:38
Mark Olsen thanks for carrying this
00:23:40
flame all these years you know it just
00:23:43
amazed me
00:23:44
I brought Mark out and he got to drive
00:23:46
the cars well he hadn't been in one
00:23:48
since he was 15 years old so that was
00:23:50
kind of cool so as I said I hope you
00:23:53
enjoyed this little trip in the turbine
00:23:56
car as much as I did it's fun to be able
00:23:58
to preserve history like this and get it
00:24:00
on the road take it to car shows where
00:24:02
people can see it and hear it because
00:24:04
you know it's not so you see a vehicle
00:24:06
like this in relationship to other
00:24:07
vehicles
00:24:08
you know they look fine when you go to
00:24:10
an Auto Show but when you see them on
00:24:11
the road next to Toyotas and all these
00:24:13
kind of cars you go wow I think it's
00:24:14
pretty cool so anyway thanks for being a
00:24:18
party history today and I hope you
00:24:19
enjoyed the ride we'll see you guys next
00:24:21
week
00:24:26
you
