Back in 1965 and 1966 when I attended the Chrysler Training Center in New Jersey, I had the privilege of seeing the Turbine cars as they were serviced there at the Center. The techs told us of the "magic powder" they used to clean the turbines. At lunch time they would give us short rides in the car.
I have read the book now and have enjoyed it very much.
Now at 72, I was thrilled to see and hear the Turbine car Jay Leno has at his 'Big Dog Garage'.
Having been a lifelong Chrysler product mechanic, riding in the Turbine car was definitely one of the highlight. - 7 years 3 months ago
I'm glad that you enjoyed the photos. Getting to drive the Turbine Car, 42 years after first seeing one, was a highlight of my career as an automotive journalist and enthusiast.
I'm sure that you can order prints of any of the photos in the gallery. I have a 20x30 inch print of photo 13 hanging in my office, the photo of me driving the Turbine Car at the Chrysler Tech Center in Auburn Hills. What's funny is that I drove the Turbine Car just three weeks after driving the then new Ford GT at Le Mans, a story which is in the newest issue of Automotive Traveler. http://automotivetraveler.com/jump/3687
Thanks for your comment.

Great images of the two 67 Chevelle L79 cars. Are they going to be featured in an article? I'd love more info on these two Malibu's. Thanks, Jeff

Hello. Does anyone see my fathers 1967 GTX Hemi Convertable? It's Barrett Jackson certified and worth a look. It won the Gold and Excellence award first time shown. Let me know if you spot it. Thanks!
