What Makes the Jetfire Different
Here is a video about the Jetfire from the 1960s. Watch what happens when the driver steps on the gas pedal!
LET'S CELEBRATE the 50th ANNIVERSARY of THE JETFIRE!
On April 20, 1962 Oldsmobile introduced the FIRST AMERICAN PRODUCTION version of the Jetfire, a car powered by a turbocharged, fluid injected aluminum V8 engine. The turbo charger boosts the output of the 215 c.i. engine by 15% to 215 horsepower ("one horse per cube"). This rare car was only built in 1962 and 1963, and there are probably less than 100 driveable Jetfires in existence today.
