Check out what is probably my all-time favorite car. Fifty of these Ghia bodied 1963-4 Chrysler Turbine cars were given to 203 people to be used as a normal car for three months. Logs were kept, impressions recorded, and then at the end of the trial period, these beautiful cars were destroyed.
Chrysler didn't want to pay the import taxes and tariffs on the
Italian-made bodies. All but 10 were burned then crushed. Of the
remaining cars, Chrysler has three, two are in
private hands, and the rest are in museums.
How sad.
