Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
Also, the engine is a gas turbine engine. All jet engines are gas turbine engines, but not all gas turbine engines are jet engines.
My grandparents got to drive one of those for 3 months. My grandfather used to like to mess w/ the gas station attendants and ask them to check the oil when they'd pull in for gas :)
Gas turbine =/= jet. The car wasn't powered by thrust out its rear, it was powered via a compressor stage cranking a transmission and applying traction to the road.
And in this, it is featured: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0058296/
Also, you can see one of these at the Ford Museum in Detroit.
