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.
Exterior and Interior
This 1977 Oldsmobile Toronado is painted in brown, and comes with a Y79 Appearance Package. It’s also got the Landau top in contrasting beige. Rolling on whitewall tires, this car comes in a lengthy 220 inches, highlighting why the term Land Yacht was applied to many cars from the period. With its quad headlamps, chrome embellishments and opulent design, it will definitely be a head-turner and conversation starter wherever you choose to take it. Enter the cabin via the frameless doors, and you’ll see that inside of this 1977 Oldsmobile Toronado is a similarly rich affair, in Buckskin. You’ve got power-operated front seats, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, power windows, power mirrors, and power door locks. There’s also air conditioning, cruise control, and a push-button AM/FM radio, and a power antenna. The rear seats of this car are similarly plush and comfortable as the front seats, and there’s plenty of space for four adults to travel in luxurious comfort. There’s also a massive trunk behind the passenger cabin so you can take a cross-country trip sans compromise.
Engine
A large behemoth like this 1977 Oldsmobile Toronado needs a powerful engine to push it along. While the Seventies were the period of the infamous Malaise Era, this 1977 Oldsmobile Toronado still packs a 6.6L V8 under the hood. The engine was still rated at 185hp and 325lb-ft for 1977. It drives the rear wheels via a 3-speed automatic gearbox. There’s also a Fuel Economy Gauge that will tell you if you’re being too lead-footed with the car. The previous owner had reportedly installed new mufflers and tailpipes before the current owner purchased the car.

Oldsmobile’s take on the Personal Luxury Car, the Toronado came to be in 1965. It stuck around until 1992, across four generations, and was perhaps best known for its quirky front-wheel drive layout. Yes, how many V8-powered luxury barges can you think of that drive their front wheels? Today, we’ve got one of those front-driven beasts, a second-generation 1977 Oldsmobile Toronado Brougham from Middle River, Maryland. This car has traveled just 16,271 miles so far and represents a fine choice for a discerning collector who wants a Seventies classic that perfectly embodies the spirit of size and luxury excess at the time.
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!
This 1955 Oldsmobile 88 Restomod is the kind of build that takes everything people love about a big mid-century American cruiser and gives it the hardware to be enjoyed with a lot less compromise. Showing approximately 12,640 miles, it pairs unmistakable 1950s Oldsmobile styling with a custom blue and white two-tone paint job, a reupholstered white and blue interior, and a strong list of drivability upgrades. The 350ci V8 crate engine, 700R4 4-speed automatic, power steering, power front disc brakes, and Vintage Air make this far more than a stock-style restoration. It is a proper restomod with classic looks and a much more usable road-going setup.
The 1967 Oldsmobile 442 Convertible captures the muscle-car formula in one of its most desirable forms, pairing big-block Oldsmobile power with open-air cruising and a proper 4-speed manual transmission. Showing 36,423 miles, this example is finished in White over a Black interior with a Black convertible soft top and carries the signature 442 performance identity that made these cars such serious contenders during the muscle-car era. The combination of its 400ci Rocket V8, manual gearbox, Super Stock I wheels, bucket-seat interior, and 442 badging gives this convertible the right mix of performance hardware and period style.
This 1937 Oldsmobile Series F Hot Rod blends prewar styling with the unmistakable attitude of a blown big-block street machine. Showing just 797 miles, it is powered by a 454ci supercharged V8 topped with a 6-71 Roots-type supercharger and backed by a 700R4 4-speed automatic. A 1968 Pontiac Firebird front end, power steering, aluminum cylinder heads, stainless steel headers, and an aluminum radiator give the car serious mechanical substance, while the custom burgundy paint job and reupholstered gray interior bring a more finished, show-oriented side to the build.
