Chrysler destroyed all but nine models and deactivated the turbines in all but three. Two are in this museum and the third is owned by Jay Leno. Although turbine work for cars were never continued, Chrysler’s turbine studies did help contribute to the military and was later incorporated into the design of the M1 Abrams Battle Tank.
