<VV> Turbo Question

[Western Canada CORSA]

It was the first SUCCESSFUL production turbo.  The Olds Jetfire came off the
line about a month earlier, but was a dismal failure, with GM eventually
offering the replace the troublesome turbo with a V8.

Joel

Hey Gang,

I read the article in the 5/13/05 New Milford Spectrum which seemed pretty
accurate in most respects.  However, the writer states that the Corvair was
the
second production car manufactured in North America to have a turbo.  What
was
the first?  Further, what, if any foreign made cars preceded the Corvair
with
a turbo in a production car?  Inquiring minds want to know.

The article was referenced here on VV but here it is again.
