    There are more spots, that will be on TV later that month to continue the “Drive Proud” campaign and present the most luxurious vehicle in its class – the Chrysler 300. The advertising will run from April until June and further 30-second videos will be supported by advertisement agency Wieden+Kennedy Portland.

    The Chrysler brand delivers incredible designs, technology and innovation, that is always improved since the foundation of Chrysler in 1926. The brand success on the market continues to grow, thankfully to the ever-evolving and ever-searching challenges teams, that work for the brand.

  • 1963 Chrysler Turbine Car Strikes with Classic Sophistication

    The 2015 Canadian International Auto Show (CIAS) is going to host one of the kings among classic cars – the historic 1963 Chrysler Turbine Car! This “Turbine Bronze” model will be revealed to the public along with 18 other classic cars as part of the Art and the Automobile historic vehicle exhibition, February 13-22, 2015. Since the event is tracing the artistic development of the design of vehicles through time, the Chrysler Turbine Car is just a perfect example of this progressive transition.

    This rare prototype vehicle takes its power from a turbine engine that runs on Kerosene, Diesel – or JP-4 Jet Fuel.  Attractiveness, old-time-spirit and beauty spring out from every side of the two-door hardtop coupe. It has four individual bucket seats, power steering, power brakes, and power windows. Its remarkable design also includes two large horizontal taillights and back-up lights which are installed inside a heavy chrome sculptured bumper.

    “The Chrysler Turbine program began in 1954 – in the supersonic jet airplane age -and lasted until 1981,” said Brandt Rosenbusch, Manager of Historical Vehicles – FCA US. “Like today, the company was exploring alternative propulsion solutions and to prove the engine’s flexibility, even ran them on perfume and alcohol – aside from the ‘standard’ JP-4 Jet Fuel. We have not shipped the car to Canada in the 25 years I have been here.”

    An interesting fact is that between 1963 and 1964 a total of 50 Ghia-bodied Turbine Cars were built and were given to members of the general public. Unfortunately, those cars never underwent series production.
