Summary

68% Informative

The 1962 Oldsmobile Jetfire featured an integrated turbo-boost system that increased the performance of the V-8 "Rockette" found in the Cutlass .

The Jetfire was a unique model with a few distinguishing aspects that set it apart from the swanky luxury model, including the lack of fixed door frames and B-pillars, as well as a few cosmetic elements.

Chevy almost pulled the trigger on what would have been the hottest classic turbocharged sports car of all time, but for whatever reason, canned it.

The Oldsmobile Jetfire only ran for two production years ( 1962 and 1963 ), with the final sales sitting at 3,765 units in the first year , and 5,842 in the final year .

The American turbo trend was officially sidelined by the mid-1960s , though it would see a triumphant return to the mainstream only a few decades later .
