Re: {Chrysler 300} Turbine car on the DC National Mall



Like my fellow native Long Islander Bob, I also saw the Turbine car at the NY Worlds Fair when I was 12 or 13.

As far as museums, we unfortunately have to fly back before the Nethercutt reopens but we did buy tickets for the Mullin museum in Oxnard on October 8 (special thanks to Sam Cohen for the suggestion as I’d never heard of it.) 

Here’s hoping the heat wave abates some before we all get to SoCal!

Hi Bob Haag and Noel,

The American Car Museum in Tacoma has a Turbine Car on display, it is owned by Nancy LeMay. After Harold LeMay ‘s death in November 2000, Nancy bought the Turbine Car and left it on display at the American Car Museum in Tacoma.

The original LeMay Car Museum is in South Tacoma and is open to the public, it still has a large collection of cars and motorcycles. Part of the LeMay Museum is still at their original home off Pacific Ave in South Tacoma  It is open once a year in August to the Public and for special tours like Car Clubs. Nancy no longer  lives in the home off Pacific Ave near Pacific Lutheran University.

 

Looking forward to seeing everyone in Pasadena. Arlys and I including our son John and wife have a reservation at The Nethercutt Collection on Thursday, Oct 13 at 10:00 AM. It is about an hour drive north and if traffic it could take two hours.

Has one maybe he will fire

It up for you guys.

He bought it from Chrysler

A few years back. Last time

I checked Chrysler still had

Two. Dream car I saw them at

The 1964-65 Worlds Fair.

I saw one at Chryslers at Carlisle close to 20 years ago

At that time it belonged to

Frank Kleptz. I had him do the

Standing nickel trick it stood

On end while idling that's how

Smooth it idled.

Dave,

 

Yes - at the Stahl Museum at Fall 2021 Auburn Hills Meet.  It's one of the very few that's still operable. Batteries were run down, so couldn't fire it up that day.

Hello Freinds ,

 

Did we see one of the 1963 Chrysler Turbine Cars during the Spring meet in Detroit?

 

The crew was unable to start it.

 

On the DC National Mall, today, one of the remaining Is on display "Cars on the Mall"

 

I am unable to get photo.

 

It truly is a classic.

 

Take care all
