Chrysler Turbine Car, Jo Han kit, 1/25
« on: October 13, 2015, 05:11:23 PM »
Hello,

A very old kit of one of some turbine cars made in USA. This one was from Chrysler. 55 were produced and tested by privileged customers. After the test was finished those cars were to be rendered Chrysler and destroyed. It is said that 9 specimens are still existing including 3 in operating condition.
The kit was issued in the late 1950s and I remember well the box on the shelves when I was still a teenager...

This is lovely!

I have been fortunate to have seen (and heard) one of the roadworthy survivors at a Chrysler oriented car show once. Also, in one of my boxes of kits I have an unbuilt kit just like this one......
