Back in 1964 or so i recall a neighbor having a new or nearly new Olds. It was a small car, by early 60's standards. It was a 2 door hard top...a red beauty. I rode in it a few times and it was fast....really fast! It had a 4 speed manual. The car had something very unusual or my neighbor was just BS'ing me or my recollection is failing me. He told me the car had vapor injection or something of that sort. I recall him getting a glass container...maybe a quart but likely smaller...possibly triangular instead of normal round shaped bottles.....and placing the bottle under the hood. The liquid in the bottle was clear. I think it had a bracket or holder that accepted it and a screw cap with a tube attached that went ???. Was it really "go juice" as he referred to it as or was this windshield washer? I am now 55 years old but am not senile. I was just a kid back then and I paid little attention to details. Any one have any idea what I am recalling? DWR

1961-1963 Olds F-85 Starfire 215 c.i. aluminum V-8 with a water injected turbocharger (no, I'm not kidding).
The "Turbo Rocket Fluid" was half water, half methyl alcohol. It didn't work too well. C.J.
