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.
Featuring a two-door body shell and classic American muscle car-inspired lines, the Oldsmobile Toronado Coupe is a sight to behold. The front end is dominated by quad headlamps and a prominent and pointed grille. The earlier Toronados featured hidden headlights, which were eliminated for the 1970 model year. Also new were larger, more squared-off wheel arches and revised rear quarter panels. The current owner reports this car has been given a new paint job in its original silver color. The interior of the 1970 Oldsmobile Toronado Coupe heavily emphasizes luxury. Steering inputs are made via a three-spoke wheel, while the car sports a new instrument cluster on the dashboard, which includes AutoMeter gauges for RPM, water temperature, oil pressure, and charging voltage. The center console features a period Oldmobile-branded FM radio, with knobs for volume and fader adjustment, while an aftermarket audio player is also reported.
Under the hood, you’ll find a 455ci (7.5-liter) Rocket V8 engine, which was rated when new to output 375 hp with 510 lb-ft of torque. The engine sends its power to the front wheels via a three-speed automatic Turbo-Hydramatic 425 transmission. The current owner reports a recent oil change, along with a new set of tires and new brakes.

Oldsmobile introduced the Toronado in 1965 as their personal luxury car contender. What made the Toronado most distinctive was not its styling or land yacht proportions, but the fact that it was front-wheel drive! Yes, this was probably one of a handful of V8 front-wheel drive cars around at the time. What a curious decision by General Motors, and you can discover their curio right here with this 20,197-mile 1985 Oldsmobile Toronado Brougham that we’ve got for sale. Currently relaxing in Grand Prairie, Texas, this all-original restored car awaits a new owner, which might very well be you, dear reader!
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. It’s also said that all maintenance is up to date, so you can banish that worry from your mind.
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. Over 35 million Oldsmobile vehicles were produced over a 107-year existence. One of their well-known nameplates was the Toronado, a personal luxury car. 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.
Oldsmobile was one of General Motors’ well-known brands, until it was retired in 2004. One of the brand’s most prolific models was the 88 full-size car. Produced across ten generations from 1949 to 1999. In 1957, the third generation debuted, and had a few variants. One of these was the Rocket, which represented the base model. Moving up, one could find the Dynamic 88 and Super 88, but exterior badging on these variants was limited to merely ‘88’. Today, we’ve got a meticulously-restored 1957 Oldsmobile Rocket 88 for sale in Whittier, California. The car comes with a rebuilt engine and gearbox that have reportedly got under 1,000 miles on them.

The Oldsmobile Cutlass was a car that was made by this now-defunct American brand between 1961 and 1999. 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? It’s largely original, with a few enhancements here and there.
Owning an Alfa Romeo is an act of lust, self-sacrifice and pure aural pleasure. That’s because these Italian machines are full of character, quirky, and need the appropriate maintenance to perform at their best. Neglect an Alfa Romeo and everyone will be sad (car included).
