@jakobain Chrysler owns Dodge. So it could be called either, and people will still know what you are talking about.

it's not a dodge but a CHRYSLER TURBINE CAR !

If anybody ever wants to see one up close and in person, in the Los Angeles area, Petersen's Museum has one on display. I think it's a permanent display too, part of their alternative power section. Very cool to see up close!

forgot to add the bigest innovation from these cars was used in the heating ac business because they developed the technology to use the heat in the exhaust to heat the incomming air which allowed the exhaust heat to be manageable. that heat exchange design is probably used today. you wouldn't want someones nylons to melt from the exhaust would you P.S. this info came from a friend who worked for chrysler back in the day

what are you talking about they didn't get any beter gas mileage and didn't have good acceleration compared to the other cars of the era. By the way turbines use some metals that are very expensive and if put into production would have depleted the world supply making it more exspensive that was the real reason for there demise don't let the liberal tree hugger blur reality and blame all the problems of the world on big business etc.

bali hi in san diego it"s still open

It was scrapped because it would run on any combustible fuel, from diesel oil to purfume. The oil companies wouldn't allow that. Bell bought the rights to the engine and used them in their helicopters. With only a 1/5 of the moving parts, how expensive could the costs be?

That is a fabulous car! love the home movie atmosphere.oh my god they are going to a Tiki bar!hope they kept the mug
The coolest part of this video is the Bali Hai Restaurant! Still out on Shelter Island, and one of my favorite places in the world to eat. "Chicken of the Gods" was on the menu way back when this movie was shot and is what I order whenever I go!!

In 1963, a Chrysler engineer drove one of the turbine cars over to Shrine Of The Little Flower Grade School on Woodward Avenue in Royal Oak, Michigan. He was there in the turbine to pick up his kid from school. All of us kids went absolutely insane and we mobbed the car in the grade school parking lot. Each one of us took turns holding our hands underneath the back end of the car so the we could feel the blast of warm exhaust air blowing out from the back end. I'll never forget it. Carl Johnson
