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.
Wearing a black coat, this 1978 Oldsmobile Toronado is quintessentially seventies opulence. It comes from the second generation of the model, which ran between 1971 and 1978. This car stretches nearly 220 inches in sheer length, while its wheelbase is a mere 122 inches. Hence, you see its long front and rear overhangs, which are characteristic of the quintessential Seventies Land Yacht. The car rolls on whitewall tires, and has ample servings of chrome, as befit a luxury car from General Motors. Quad headlamps, imposing bumpers, and a sloping rear silhouette all contribute to make a truly distinctive automobile. The interior of this 1978 Oldsmobile Toronado is no less impressive. You’ve got plush, buttoned leather seats, and plenty of wood trim. Areas that have been ‘wooded’ include the dashboard, door accents, and even the steering wheel. Then, this car comes with every creature comfort and technological convenience of time, as befits its positioning. Cue up air conditioning, cruise control, a push-button radio, power-adjustable front seats and power windows. Then, you’ve got a suitably accommodating trunk.
Naturally all that size and weight needs a brawny powerplant. Pop the hood of this 1978 Oldsmobile Toronado and you’ll see a 6.6L V8 that was factory rated for 185hp and 325lb-ft. This is because the seventies saw stringent emissions and fuel economy regulations take hold. But be assured that this car is no slouch; it can get up and go very nicely. Thanks to a 3-speed Turbo-Hydramatic automatic transmission powering its front wheels, your progress will be smooth and seamless.

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!

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.
