SUMMARY:1963 The first of 200 people receive a 1963 Chrysler Turbine C
 ar for real life testing
DESCRIPTION:The world's first consumer delivery of a turbine car took 
 place October 29, 1963 in Chicago. Mr. Lynn A. Townsend, president of
  Chrysler Corporation, presented the keys to the turbine car to Mr. an
 d Mrs. Richard E. Vlaha of Broadview (a Chicago suburb). Typical of th
 e 200 scheduled deliveries, the presentation was observed by newsmen a
 nd reported in various newspapers, magazines, and on radio and televis
 ion.\nThe objective of this program is to learn just how this new kind
  of car performs in the hands of typical drivers and in typical everyd
 ay usage - on long trips and short trips - and over a wide range of cl
 imatic conditions and terrain.\n\nEach selected user will drive the ca
 r for a period up to three months under a no-charge agreement. The car
  then will be reassigned to other users to provide a broad consumer sa
 mpling base. In total, the 50 cars will be distributed to about 200 mo
 torists on a rotating system over a two-year period.Original is at Ch
