The first transcontinental trip in a gas-turbine car took place in 1956. The Turbine Special, a 1956 stock four-door Plymouth sedan, left New York City on March 26, 1956, and arrived in Los Angeles, CA, on March 30, covering 3,020 miles in 95 hours 15 minutes, including 74 hours 19 minutes of driving time. It was driven by two-man teams of turbine research engineers under the direction of George John Huebner, Jr. , executive engineer in charge of research for the Chrysler Corporation.
Two years after the first gas turbine had been successfully installed in a production Plymouth sedan, a 1956 Plymouth became an experiment under the direction of George J. Huebner, Jr. "Even in its present, infant stage of development," Mr. Huebner said, "the gas turbine's performance rivals that of piston engines which have had a design history of more than 100 years. The historic test was the first transcontinental journey of an automobile powered by a gas turbine engine.
