The Chrysler Turbine Car is an automobile powered by a turbine engine which was produced by Chrysler from 1963 to 1964. After the conclusion of the user program in 1966, Chrysler reclaimed all of the cars and destroyed all but nine of them.

Today on the Monster Hobbies Model Car Garage we look at the amazing 1963 Chrysler Turbine Model Kit By Jo-Han. This is a model car unboxing video.

This kit was originally released in 1965 as the Jo-Han GC-300 1963 Chrysler Turbine and featured the patented Jo-Han stack-able parts trees. The design of these parts trees eliminated the use of plastic bags to protect the parts from rubbing together in the box. The one downside to this was if you took the parts trees out of the box to examine them, and then got the order wrong when putting them back in the box, you couldn't close the box lid! 

The 1963 Chrysler Turbine Model Car By Jo-Han is an amazing model kit. It features numerous highly detailed parts, a body assembly that goes together like a real car, opening hood, doors and trunk and pose-able wheels.

Let's start with the engine. This is a 16 piece affair that glues to a 5-piece transmission. The majority of these parts are chrome plated. You get a hydraulic oil pump, power turbine housing, rear turbine housing, transmission adapter, transmission case, extension housing, transmission oil pan, compressor housing, air intake elbow, ignition coil, air pump, starter-generator, fuel control, accessory gear box housing, accessory housing cover, burner cover, exhaust converger left and right, regenerator cover left and right, and a nozzle actuator. Jo-Han explains how this engine operates in a panel in the instruction sheet. 

The 1/25th scale Chrysler Turbine model kit features a pose-able front steering suspension. to attain this, Jo-Han gives you a K frame member in which to glue upper and lower A-arms, springs, spindles, a tie rod, steering box, brake backing plates, brake drums, 3-piece wheels and tires, and a axle pins to hold the brake drums in place. The wheels glue to the drums. In the rear, you get 2 leaf springs, shocks, a 2-piece differential and the same wheels, tires and brake drums as the front of the car. 

The interior of the 1963 Chrysler Turbine Model Kit is just as lavish. You get a floor pan, 5-piece folding bucket seats, 2-piece center floor console, parking brake lever, and a pair of floor pedals. A dashboard with gauges, steering wheel, steering wheel ring, window glass, rear view mirror, rear seat backs and rear interior panel. Finishing this off is the interior door panels which glue to the opening doors. For the opening trunk, you get a spare tire cover, 2-piece case for the 2 car batteries and a battery solenoid switch. The trunk lid has a 2-piece assembly.

This model kit of the Chrysler Turbine has a multi-piece body with opening hood, opening doors, door hinges, chrome side no-draft window frame and glass, separate fenders with front chrome fender trim inserts, chrome front grille with clear head and parking lights, and the famous chrome "Twin Rocket Thruster" rear panel with red turn signal lights. Under the hood we have the front frame side rails, brake master cylinder, brake air compressor, front structure brackets, windshield washer bag, relay boxes, oil cooling radiator, air intake filters, hood latch bracket, air intake medallion. Underneath, the engine is connected to the rear wheels via a driveshaft. Two large tail pipes deliver the engine exhaust to the rear of the car.
