Here's an interesting e-bay ad:

A MODERN 150 HORSEPOWER STEAM ENGINE mock-up, installed in a redesigned, full-sized 1974 Dodge engine compartment was unveiled this week in Ann Arbor, MI. The powerplant was developed by Steam Engine Systems, Watertown, Massachusetts. It is part of the Environmental Protection Agency's program to demonstrate practical, low-emission powerplants in passenger cars. Road testing of a completed demonstration model is expected in 1975. (#74-5130)
The inner fender brace and hood roller shows it be a Dodge Monaco or Plymouth Fury, and the text says Dodge, and the pop-up badge on the header panel shows it to be a Brougham, so it looks like a 1974 Dodge Monaco Brougham. With a steam engine (mock-up).
There's a blip about a steam engine in this writeup on the turbine engine:
> “Awfully complicated and awfully expensive” is how Huebner
> describes the steam engine. But he reveals that the corporation
> has a subcontract from Steam Engine Systems Inc. of Watertown,
> Massachusetts, and will build one within 18 months.
