Oldsmobile might not be the most talked about auto brand right now, but the company was responsible for quite a few groundbreaking achievements in the automobile world. They were the first car maker to mass produce a gasoline-engine-powered vehicle and were pioneers in the American automotive scene. One of their greatest achievements, the Oldsmobile 98, was their top-of-the-line vehicle, and the car saw twelve generations before it finally retired. This 10th generation Oldsmobile 98 is of the Regency model, a premium trim of the vehicle, and is currently up for sale.
The Toronado from Oldsmobile was this prolific automaker’s crack at the personal luxury car segment. Introduced in 1965, the Toronado would be produced until 1992, across four generations. The name was something that was created by General Motors, and had been used on a Chevy concept two years prior. Closely related to the Cadillac Eldorado and Buick Riviera, the Toronado can be considered their lesser well-known cousin. That’s why you’ll definitely stand out from the crowd at any classic car meet if you rock up in this 49,259-mile 1978 Oldsmobile Toronado. Why run with the pack, or hustle with the herd? Instead, forge your own path down classic car avenue and start collecting some of America’s lesser-known gems – like this car.

Oldsmobile is one of those great American auto brands that has slowly faded away and gone into the history books. It joins a long list of great names, such as Pontiac, Mercury, Hudson and many more.

Four generations were made, between 1966 and 1992. This 1977 Oldsmobile Toronado is a second-generation car that’s reported to be mostly original. It comes to you with its original paint, and we’re told that documentation is available. Hence, it’s an ideal car to experience a slice of opulent Seventies land yacht-style motoring.
The Oldsmobile Toronado, introduced in 1966, was part of the Oldsmobile division of General Motors (GM). Oldsmobile has a rich history dating back to 1897 when Ransom Eli Olds founded the Olds Motor Vehicle Company in Lansing, Michigan. The first-generation Toronado garnered widespread acclaim and earned the prestigious Motor Trend Car of the Year award in 1966. Subsequent generations saw advancements in engine technology, safety features, and interior amenities. What we are featuring here belongs to the second generation, which received heavily revised styling that turned a "GT"-style car into a classic luxury car.

The Cutlass saw the light of day as a compact car in 1961, where it remained for just three model years. Then, it moved to the midsize segment until 1981. That’s where this third-generation 1971 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442 Tribute comes from. With 82,754 miles to its name, this car is styled to resemble the iconic 442 muscle car option package that was available for the Cutlass. Why not make this car your first or next classic, then?

According to the April 1968 issue of Car And Driver, the Oldsmobile Toronado “should be the last word in the neighborhood one-upmanship contest.” The Oldsmobile Toronado Coupe was a full-size personal luxury car designed to rival similar offerings from Buick, with its Riviera, and Ford, with its Thunderbird. Introduced for the 1966 model year, the Toronado featured a massive departure from American cars of the era: it was front-wheel drive! Although commonplace today, the front-engine front-wheel drive configuration was still relatively novel in the ’60s. At the time, virtually every American offering was rear-wheel drive, with only foreign economy cars, such as the BMC Mini and Renault 16, featuring a front-wheel drive configuration. Nevertheless, Oldsmobile had been working on the concept for some years, and the Toronado featured the layout. The impressive looks and interesting drivetrain layout make our featured 1970 Oldsmobile Toronado Coupe a valuable addition to any car collection. It is reported to have undergone recent maintenance and sports many original parts.
One might think that the Oldsmobile Cutlass was named after the sword of the same name that was popular with sailors and pirates. Interestingly, that’s partially true; the sword was inspiration for the name, as was the Vought F7U Cutlass fighter jet. Initially, the Cutlass name was applied to the top trim level of the Oldsmobile 4-4-2. Then, variants started to spin off. One of these was the Cutlass Supreme in 1966. Representing the top of the Cutlass hierarchy, the Supreme sported different body styling as well. Today, we’ve got a second-generation 1969 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme for sale from Los Angeles, California. With just over 68,000 miles on the clock, this car is a great classic for a seasoned collector, or a budding enthusiast looking to dip their toes into the classic car seas. Let us tell you more about this car.
