Sunbeam Add probably never seen before

For all of you that collect Sunbeam advertisements, you may have never seen the Sunbeam Alpine shown in the Chrysler Turbine Car Brochure --- check it out it is near the last page of the Chrysler Turbine Car Brochure link below (you may have to paste it into a new browser page). Fun stuff

Wonder when this was produced? It would have to be late 1964 at the earliest. Is that a Simca in the same panel with the Alpine?

Probably 1966. The fourth page of the booklet refers to the turbine car user test program having been completed on January 28, 1966 so definitely sometime after that. Chrysler destroyed all but a handful of the turbine cars in 1966 and it seems unlikely that they would have featured the turbine car in 1967 advertising brochures. Another clue is the 1966 front tag on the Dodge Dart GT on page 6.
