1962 Oldsmobile F-85

For 1962, the F-85 Series was responsible for much of Oldsmobile's sales success. The standard engine was the aluminum Rockette V8. Styling changes included a revised front end with a new hood, grille and headlamp housings coupled with a restyled rear section with twin tail lamps located on each size. They were available with a full range of 15 Mirror-Magic exterior colors. Interior trims came in five basic colors including green, blue, fawn, red, and gray. The upholstery was vinyl or cloth. A new, extra-cost option on the F-85 was the anti-spin differential unit.

Trim levels included the Standard, Deluxe, and the Jetfire Line. Bodystyles available on the Standard line included a Club Coupe, sedan, convertible, and a 6- or 9-passenger Station wagon. The Deluxe line included a coupe, sedan, convertible, and station wagon. The Jetfire line was offered only as a Sport Coupe and just 3,765 examples were sold.

Oldsmobile certainly had its eye on the future and anticipated the coming popularity of turbocharging by offering its new Jetfire. It demonstrated bold engineering leadership with a turbocharged aluminum-block 215 CI 'Rockette' V8, making it the first production turbocharged vehicle.
