Tail light cluster of the 1963 Chrysler Gas Turbine car

Tail lights or rocket boosters? By Gary Allman

The rear end of the Chrysler Gas Turbine car the the Museum of Transportation, St Louis, Missouri.

For the curious those are lights. Apparently the exhaust has a wide thin rectangular section to spread out the exiting hot gases and thus prevent toasting any following vehicles when driving in traffic.

The Arch

The Arch, St Louis by Gary Allman
It really is an impressive structure, and I just can’t help myself taking pictures, it is constantly changing as the light varies and its sheer size is awesome.

Just to give some idea of scale. Portsmouth’s Spinnaker Tower would fit comfortably under the arch with over 70 feet to spare.
