American inventor, William P Lear announced that we would invest $10,000,000 to develop a steam automobile that he would have on the market within 15 months. He built a transit bus and converted a Chevrolet Monte Carlo sedan powered by closed circuit steam turbine. It used a proprietary working fluid dubbed Learium, possibly a chlorofluorocarbon similar to DuPont Freon.
