Some Background.
The use of turbine motors in model cars began in the 1960s, coinciding with real-world experimentation by automotive companies. Chrysler, in particular, was at the forefront, having developed the famous Chrysler Turbine Car program, which tested gas turbine engines for mass-market automobiles. The sleek, futuristic design and the turbine engine's unique sound captured public imagination, and this excitement carried over into the model car industry.
Jo-Han, a prominent model kit manufacturer of the era, produced a kit of the Chrysler Turbine Car, which included a detailed replica of the turbine engine. This model kit popularized the inclusion of turbine engines in other model kits, even for vehicles that never used them in real life.
In 1969, MPC released kits for the 1969 Firebird and the 1969 Camaro Turbine Funny Car, incorporating Chrysler’s turbine motor design. These kits stood out because the turbine engine wasn't used in real-life Firebird or Camaro models, but it symbolized the futuristic appeal of turbine technology. The inclusion of the Chrysler turbine motor in these kits likely stemmed from its novelty, as well as Chrysler's prominent branding of the turbine engine.
The excitement around turbine engines in model cars was largely driven by the futuristic appeal and engineering curiosity, even though turbine technology did not achieve widespread use in production vehicles.
