In 1964, Chrysler gave the world a glimpse of the future. They built a fleet of turbine carsautomobiles with jet enginesand loaned them out to members of the public. The fleet logged over a million miles; the exercise was a raging success.These turbine engines would run on any flammable liquidtequila, heating oil, Chanel #5, diesel, alcohol, kerosene. If the cars had been mass produced, we might have cars today that do not require petroleumderived fuels. The engine was also much simpler than the piston engineit contained onefifth the number of moving parts and required much less maintenance. The cars had no radiators or fan belts and never needed oil changes.Yet Chrysler crushed and burned most of the cars two years later; the jet cars brief glory was over. Where did it all go wrong? Controversy still follows the program, and questions about how and why it was killed have never been satisfactorily answered.Steve Lehto has interviewed all the surviving members of the turbine car programfrom the metallurgist who created the exotic metals for the interior of the engine to the test driver who drove it at Chryslers proving grounds for days on end. Lehto takes these firsthand accounts and weaves them into a great story about the coolest car Detroit ever produced.

I bought this for my husband who loves classic cars. He was thrilled to receive it! The photos and stories about Chrysler’s turbine car are really cool. Perfect coffee table book, though it could use a few more pages.

Disappointed with the Condition
The book I received had a few bent pages and wasn’t in the best shape. The content is interesting, but I wish it had come better packaged. I thought I was getting a new copy, but it looked used.

Good Book, but Lacks Depth
I found the book interesting, but I expected more technical details about the turbine technology itself. The story is well told, but it feels a bit surface-level at times. Still, it's a decent read if you’re into car history.
