The Chrysler turbine car was produced from 1963 to 1964. Its body was made by the Italian design studio Ghia, and Chrysler completed its assembly in Detroit. The A-831 turbine engine could operate on many different fuels, required less maintenance, and lasted longer than conventional piston engines, although they were much more expensive to produce. 
A total of 55 cars were built: five prototypes and a limited run of 50 cars for a public user program.After the conclusion of the user program in 1966, Chrysler reclaimed all of the cars and destroyed all but nine of them; Chrysler kept two, five are displayed at museums in the United States, and two are in private collections. Chrysler's turbine engine program ultimately ended in 1979, largely due to the failure of the engines to meet government emissions regulations and relatively poor fuel economy.
