@@RivieraByBuick Thanks! I remember reading an article long long ago about some of the clever tricks to make a mass-produced, short-lived-but-reliable, and cheap engine, and being fascinated by it. Amazing to think of its relation to Chrysler's turbine car.

My story with the Turbine car, 1964 Alta Loma High School, Southern California. I was a 14 year old freshman. A fellow girl student was lucky enough to have a father who was chosen by Chrysler to drive the X-perimental car. Me being a car guy who never missed an issue of Car & Driver, Road & Track, Motor Trend magazine so I knew about the car. I was shocked when waiting for the bus after school, he would pull up in the Chrysler Turbine and pick her up. I actually got to see it driving in person. Thank you Jay for being a car guy and making sure this piece of automotive history is preserved.❤🚗
Great story ...thx ...with the possibility that the years would have lost it and the builders behind it. And w/o today's tech it's a longer shot. Always enjoyed that jet roar ....needed a runway !
@@User0000000000000004 LOL, I wonder why they have such a long warranty, Hyundai's are garbage, as a retired aircraft tech, I would never own one, Honda , Toyota or Ford for me.
Jay is a savior of so many pieces of automotive history. He has my gratitude for sure. You add the fact that he takes the time to share the stories and show us all the cars. The man is the dang patron saint of gearheads!
Jay needs to Live Forever. He's a National treasure. I would see him in RI back in 2018 and you could always tell it was Jay because the car... not because it would be a Ferrari or Lambo but always something iconoc American. His wife loved the Restaurant 'The Black Pearl' because of their famous Clam Chowder.
Thanks to Williams for helping Jay get this going again. When I saw the cars in the museums, it was a little sad because they were just sitting there. Nothing worse for a car than to sit.
My father spent his career at Chrysler, and I actually rode in a turbine car in the mid-60s. Even with that history, I never knew that Williams International was born out of the Chrysler turbine car project. Great company, and thanks to Gregg for restoring the engine on one of only a very few remaining (and running) examples.
There's only 2 other cars that exist out of the 50 made, 47 were crushed/destroyed 😢. One is in a museum and doesn't run, the other is in a private collection and runs and drives. Saw it on RUclips a yr or so ago ✌️
More beautiful than the car is the history and the legacy of a man that today gives work to 2300 people , and keeping all the production in the US. What a battle for survival it must have been...and J could not appreciate that side of the deal. BRAVO Mr Williams and the company as a whole.
The trick is finding your niche. Jet engines are incredibly sophisticated pieces of machinery, and thus, they are quite expensive. This makes the added cost of manufacturing in the West far more bearable since labour costs are only a small part of the price tag. This is why aviation is one of the few industries that has remained in the West.
USA, USA, USA!!! Thanks, Mr. Leno, for saving this amazing, historic car! One can not replace innovation and hard work. Thank you, gentlemen who developed and built this astonishing vehicle.
I have said this before, sorry for repeating, I saw this in 1964 as a 12 year old at the World's Fair in NYC. A week or so later I was out on my bike on Darlington Avenue in Ramsey, NJ and the car went by us with that unmistakable turbine sound. Love this car! thanks to Williams and Jay for making it new again!
Tons of regular folks just hanging around for the Boulevard cruise and here comes Jay freakin' Leno in a Chrysler turbine rolling around like it's no big deal. Got to love it. Great work by the Williams crew and I'm sure the whole rest of the team involved to make it happen. Big props to the dude in the Cadillac for having the stones to pace on him and say hi. It just wouldn't be a Jay Leno's Garage video without randos on the street being cool.
I loved the design of the Chrysler Turbine Car. I was fortunate to ride in one at the New York World's Fair in 1964. Chrysler had a pavilion and you could stand in line to take a ride in one of the Turbine Cars.
When Jay pulled out of the factory with that long line of cars behind him, it reminded me of the song "Alice's Restaurant", especially the line "and everybody wanted to get in the newspaper story about it". They had quite an escort on the initial "flight" of the Turbine car. And the moment with the guy in the '65 Cadillac was pretty cool too.
To paraphrase Mel Brooks in History of the World Part 2, “It’s good to be Jay Leno”. I used to live near Williams International. Drove by it regularly. They never offered tours, even to retired mechanical engineers like me. But Jay Leno melts a Williams designed turbine engine and not only does Williams take in the reman project, they reanimate 90 year old Chrysler engineers from retirement all over the country! I’m not jealous - not me! Just kidding. It’s great that Jay has the relationships that allow him to restore history that otherwise would be lost. Even Chrysler itself, now part of Stellantis, could not have done what Jay Leno did.
I saw the Chrysler Turbine Car at an auto show in Chattanooga, TN in the 60's. As a kid, It was my first distinct impression that almost anything that could be imagined could be made and I was seeing the future! Thanks for the memories!
Fully agree with Jay's comment about the 'long-lived.' I got interested in early radar development. I was surprised to learn that many of the developers lived very long lives. I think science keeps the mind engaged, which seems to keep the body engaged.
I saw a Chrysler Turbine Car at Grossmount Shopping Center in La Mesa, California in about May 1964. Later that summer I saw a Chrysler Turbine Car driving through Anoka, Minnesota. Now I have two Jo-Han 1/24 model kits. I have two Yat-Ming 1/18 Turbine car models. I have corresponded with Mark Olson in Duluth, MN. Mark is the keeper of the flame for the Chrysler Turbine Car. I love that car.😮
Saw this car in the 90's at Spring Fling in Van Nuys California. Jay parked it about 20 feet or so from my 65 Plymouth and it attracted quite a crowd. Great to see it on the road again.
More people should be awaiting on this premier Jay, this is such a fascinating piece of automotive history 👍. Hope you're doing well and thank you so much for sharing this with us! 🙋
He's looking pretty good Something really couldn't avoid If you take a look at the land where he was from his hotel to the restaurant he'd have to walk almost a mile all the way around he didn't have a rental car. So he thought oh I'll just kind of ease on down this hill and then I'll be right there walking distance to the restaurant. Unfortunately the hell was a whole lot more steeper and sharper grade than his footing thought
I was in Junior High School when one of our guidance counselors was picked to drive the turbine car. I got to ride in it when he took me home after a after school activity. Great memories.
Truly amazing craftsmanship and technology that began back in the late fifties and sixties I hope that those records are kept and well preserved as they deserve to be Great show
I saw a Turbine car on display at the local MOPAR dealer. They gave out key rings to the visitors that had a metal perpetual calendar on the end of the chain. I kept mine long after it was out of date. Must have lost it in a move sometime after. I wasn’t able to get a ride in the turbine car, but a few lucky visitors did. It still looks good today, doesn’t it? Especially compared to the jelly bean shapes we drive today.
The rebuild should have been a full documentary with historical footage and interviews with the engineers Interspersed with an inside look in the engineering process in the modern day to recreate it.
Jay, we are close to the same age, and when I was young and saw this car, I was mesmerized. I was also sad to see Chrysler destroy most of them. Thank you and the Williams firm for preserving this. ....Russell D.
I would love to see somebody recreate that body and interior for use with a piston engine to use as a daily driver. The car is stunning from every angle.
Wow, what an absolutely beautiful example of genuine USA technology, and this car was designed in the late 50's!! I wish we could drive these today! Thanks Jay and Gregg Williams! And you are spot on about the state of US manufacturing. I work in the defense industry, without overseas computer components we cannot make parts for US military aircraft, that's very sad and scary. America needs to wake up and start making things like this fantastic car again! Reliance on overseas parts will doom us in any War, I can guarantee you that!
You're saying the US needs to start making turbine cars again? Because of war? OK, boomer. I think it's past your bedtime. Don't forget to put on your adult diapers.
Such a cool car, one of my favorites. Imagine if you were lucky enough to get one as a test car back in the day, you would be the coolest person in your neighborhood by miles. Williams also made the cool jet engine in the Bell Jetpack back in the day that could run for over 20mins and was the only real jetpack that worked unlike modern ones that last a couple of mins.
What a great story! Thank you Jay and Greg for bringing this piece of history back to life and sharing it with the rest of us. I recall learning about this engine in my gas turbines class in college in the late 70s. I’d love to see a follow up video showing the shop during the restoration and talking with the engineers. Something along the lines of Jay’s shop tours (some of my favorite videos).
Hi from the uk You hit the nail on the head, an engineer is always an engineer I bet those 80 and 90 year old guys really had a sense of worth doing this project. Hats off to them they are worth there weight in gold Irreplaceable one of a kind working on one of a kind
I was a pre-teen kid when my mother took me to a museum in L.A.. I don't remember what museum it was, but it had a huge number of a wide range of exhibits.

Next time I saw one of these cars was when I was a teenager and it was in the Harrah's car collection in Sparks, NV. I couldn't believe seeing another one, but Bill Harrah collected every kind of automobile he could get his hands on. Today, the remnants of the Harrah car collection is in the National Automobile Museum in Reno, NV. It is impressive but pales in comparison to what Bill Harrah had. It is great to see one of these Chrysler Turbine Cars actually running and driving in the real world! Thank you Jay!
You're my hero. I often times will butt into conversations with useless encyclopedic knowledge and completely derail the flow for one and all. I'm what you'd call a human loser. Game recognizes game, bro.
In 1963 the New York world's Fair I sat in that car it took me hours of standing in line so I could get a ride what a cool car turbine engine and nitrogen and a tires great sound too
My father worked for a local Chrysler-Plymouth dealer in the North Bay and he got the honor of working on that beautiful car. He said it would get 12 miles on a fifth of Jack Daniel. I was one of the finalists to get one as an experiment being I drove all over California with my Utility Co. Didn't get the car. Great show Jay.
I can say that, back in the day, I actually saw a Turbine car parked on Kercheval, in the shopping district called "The Village" in Grosse Pointe. As no one was in the car I took a look inside and around it. Pretty cool at the time.
Thanks to Williams for saving a piece of history. ❤
