    The problem with a turbine car is fuel economy, or more to the point, the lack of it! But boy was it a looker! I took many pics of it, but the windows were up, so glare prevented good interior pics. Good show, Paul!

    We have a young couple that brings Model T's to local shows. First time I saw them they had a T touring that was pretty nice. The next time I saw them they had a SUPER nice 1913 model. I was told they had several T's. There is hope for the future!

    Hi Paul!: So you got the hots for the Turbine Car too! One beautiful machine! Chrysler should have made that Ghia body style at some point, even if they had to put a 318 in it instead of the turbine engine. The model A's you picked were super cool! It was fun to see Graham with his COOL 1929 Roadster!! So refreshing to see a young person who's first idea ISN'T lets put a small block Chevy in that! Brrrrr! Sorry, that makes me cringe! We need more Graham's! I think it would be so interesting to ride in the bus and on the fire truck! Thanks for sharing!

    My son and I were just at The Gilmore last month and at the Auburn, Cord, and Duesenberg museums, and also the Early Ford V8 museum.

    Y,ou should try hooking up with TH-cam lawyer Steve Lehto to see if you can get a ride in a turbine car. He doesn’t have one but he wrote a book about them and I believe he occasionally gets the opportunity to ride in one.

    Just a little note Paul, rockets don't fly with jet turbines.... It's a jet car not a rocket car...
    For it to be a rocket it needs to carry it's own oxidizer and burn in a chamber that exhaust through a nozzle.

    I think that the exhaust temperature was a issue? Setting people and car's on fire was frowned upon.

    • @ModelA
      @ModelA  ปีที่แล้ว

      Chrysler had that figured out already. Turbine exhaust temp was the same as piston engine exhaust temp on this car. I think is was just the NOx.

  • @JohnCarringer
    @JohnCarringer ปีที่แล้ว

    Why no gas turbine powered cars? Fuel efficiency. Large gas turbines do well, but at automotive engine scale, they can't compete. Same is true for steam turbines, by the way. Gas turbine powered locomotives are scarce as well.
    I am amazed that you can get excited over that Chrysler thing when, right over there sits a kaiser Darrin - wow! 😁

    Why didn't the turbine go into production? High heat output, poor mileage, high production cost and where do you buy fuel.

    • @ModelA
      @ModelA  ปีที่แล้ว

      It could run on any combination of diesel and unleaded gasoline. Fuel could be found everywhere! The Chrysler Turbine exhaust temp was no higher than piston engine exhaust, thanks to the recirculators.
