Oldsmobile Jetfire Emblem 1962 - 1963 - License Plate - Vintage Emblem
1962 - 1963 Oldsmobile Jetfire Emblem License Plate
The Oldsmobile Jetfire, was no less than a Cutlass hardtop with a turbocharged version of the 215 V8, which Oldsmobile referred to as the Turbo-Rocket. This made the 1962 Jetfire the first ever turbocharged production car. Equipped with a Garrett AiResearch turbocharger was rated at 215 hp at 4,600 rpm. The Jetfire came with bucket seats and console, unique trim—two chrome fins on the hood and full-length contrast stripes on the bodysides—and a pressure/vacuum gauge mounted in the console (where it was almost hidden). Ultimately the Jetfire engine was far ahead of its time. With forced induction and an already high compression ratio the Jetfire was capable of producing more torque than a naturally aspirated engine that was twice its size, significantly improving the engine's efficiency and usability in real-life driving conditions, turbo lag not being an issue at motorway speeds. But since turbo and supercharging the engine essentially means forcing the compression in the combustion chamber even higher, the Jetfire was prone to 'spark-knock' and without modern engine management systems the only way to mitigate this was to use a 50/50 mixture of methanol and distilled water. The F-85 was restyled for the 1963 model year, to a crisper, more squared off design. The Jetfire and its turbocharged V8 returned, for what would be its final year.
