Which car was the first MASS PRODUCED car to come with an aluminum V8 and a turbo charger. Not a limited production or one off or exotic but a family sedan. I realize that turbo cars have been around a long time but this was the first one meeting the criteria above.

62 Oldsmobile Jetfire(Cutlas)?

215 cid aluminum V8 with a 50% water/ 50% methyl alchohal turbo injection system.

Anyone find one older than this?

I think DejaVu got it. MW 50 Olds.

My dad had a Corvair with a turbo, but that was a flat six.

I could kiss you DejaVa.

Yeah! Yep that be the one. There were older cars that were turbo charged but not mass production family sedans.
