That was the "Jetfire" A very cool and very small (for an American car of
that era) ride. It was supercharged not turbo. You used a special "Jetfire
fluid in the water injector, but I have no idea what that was. I believe. My
father bought one right out if the showroom. and then took me for a wild
ride. I was 5 1/5 or something but I remember the thrill and my dad's big
smile! When we got home he had all us kids dress up in or Sunday best and
shot photo's of each of us with the car. I hope he found another one in
heaven. Gabriel will give him a speeding ticket, but he'll still be having
fun.

Olds even had a turbocharged version complete with water injection.
