Before the 1962 Chrysler Turbine Car, Ford put a Boeing turbine engine into an ill-fated 1955 Thunderbird for testing.
The Ford Thunderbird launched for the 1955 model year with a fairly conventional lineup of engine options, but the Blue Oval also experimented with something quite unorthodox. The company once stuffed a gas turbine engine into a 1955 Thunderbird.on Twitter
The project began in August 1955 and the car was ready for testing in March 1956. The goal of the project was"to obtain experience with gas turbine engine packaging and operation," according to the testing notes. Ford also sought to learn"the special advantages and problems associated with this type of powerplant."
