The F-85 was an Oldsmobile, but the engine was from
Buick. FWIW the F-85 "Jetfire" turbo and Corvair
turbo were intro'd within 1-2 months of each other.
Which was first depends on whether you ask a Chevy or
Olds partisan. I don't know of another car that used
water/methanol injection from the factory (with 10:1
compression and a turbo it was needed!)
Now, to get the discussion back on topic: What class
do these cars go in? :)
