I had one of those in a '79 924. A 12 volt compressor came with the car to inflate it and there was a quick release valve to let the air out when finished.

The one I recall is the then-new Pontiac Firebird (for 1968!) that touted the Space Saver spare and it required inflation.  Used one of those inflation cannisters with little hose, probably a 16oz. can or the like.  Don't know which cars since might have these and I'm embarrassed to admit remembering back that far.
