1977 Chrysler LeBaron Turbine Concept

The 1977 LeBaron Turbine was the product of nearly 25 years of Chrysler research on gas turbine engines. But ultimately, the program reached a dead end. Though not a concept car in the conventional “show car” sense—it was never seen on the auto-show circuit—the Chrysler LeBaron Turbine did feature an advanced-technology engine and predictive design features. The concept car was built using a production “M-Body” Chrysler LeBaron coupe featuring a number of design modifications, including a revamped front end.
