August 3rd 1998

Pictured above are three of the four operating Chrysler Turbine Cars at a reunion which took place this summer. Jim Benjaminson was there and captured cars 991230, 991211 and 921242 beneath the sign at the Chelsea Proving grounds.

Above are the three in the same order after they turned car 991211 around to show off that famous tail. Cars 991230 and 991242 are still in Chrysler's possession and car 991211 is the National Transportation Museum car from St. Louis MO.


Of interest may be the odometer readings on each of the cars that day. 991230 had 42,505 miles on it and 991211 had 33,768 miles on it while 991242 had 50,237 miles showing. It would have been nice to have a recording of all three running. Anyone take a video that day?

Both of the above images were taken from Copyright1998 Jim Benjaminson original photos and are used here with his kind permission.
