Chrysler Turbine Car 'Bronze Blowtorch' Exhibit Sign - Jet-Car Engine Facts

This is a photograph of a promotional/informational display placard titled "Chrysler's Bronze Blowtorch, the Turbine," apparently a museum or exhibit sign about the Chrysler Turbine car. Under the heading "Imagine a car that..." it lists five key selling points of the turbine engine: it runs on almost any fuel (kerosene, heating oil, tequila, Chanel #5, peanut oil); its engine weighs about half as much as a conventional V-8 while its 140 horsepower performs equal to a 200-hp piston engine; it is self-cooled by its own air with no radiator to fill; it uses only one spark plug and roughly 1/5th 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 sign closes with the rhetorical line "Now... Who wouldn't want a Jet-Car?" A reader learns the headline specifications and advantages Chrysler claimed for its gas turbine automobile engine. The document contains no fuse data, wiring information, part numbers, or model years; it is promotional/exhibit literature rather than a technical reference.
