This is a photograph of a museum-style display placard titled "Chrysler's Bronze Blowtorch, the turbine," promoting the Chrysler Turbine car. The sign, headed "Imagine a car that...", lists five bullet-point advantages of the turbine engine: it runs on almost any fuel (including kerosene, heating oil, tequila, Chanel #5, and peanut oil); its engine weighs about half as much as a conventional V-8 while its 140 horsepower delivers performance equal to a 200-hp piston engine; it is self-cooled by its own air and has no radiator to fill; it uses only one spark plug and roughly one-fifth as many moving parts as conventional engines, implying reduced maintenance, tune-up, and repair costs; and it starts instantly even in the coldest weather with no warm-up needed. The placard closes with the rhetorical tagline "Now... Who wouldn't want a Jet-Car?" The background artwork shows stylized halftone imagery of the Turbine car's front end and "turbine" script badging. A reader learns the key marketed selling points of Chrysler's turbine-powered automobile concept. The document contains no fuse tables, part numbers, wiring data, or dates.
