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 squared-off styling of this 1985 Oldsmobile Toronado Brougham is quintessentially late ’70s and early ’80s, since this car hails from the third generation that was introduced for the 1979 model year. The car includes a vinyl-look for the rear portion of its roof, which was a popular cosmetic feature at the time – making your hardtop look like it had a soft top. Quad headlamps, wire-effect wheels and chrome bumpers are some more of its intricate details that must be pointed out. The interior of this 1985 Oldsmobile Toronado Brougham is configured in a four-seat form, with blue cloth upholstery for the seats. The seats themselves look comfortable and squishy in that lose-yourself-in-them manner. As you’d expect, there’s plenty of wood trim, since wood was, and continues to be, an indicator of luxury in a car. The car also has air conditioning, which is essential as our world heats up every year. You’ve also got a newer Panasonic head unit with CD playback capabilities and an AUX port, enabling you to enjoy some modern tunes as you cruise around in this beauty. Power windows and power mirrors are also present.
Powering this 1985 Oldsmobile Toronado Brougham is a rebuilt 307ci V8 that was rated for around 140hp at the time – remember that automakers were still coming out of the Malaise Era. The engine’s longitudinal mounting may lead you to believe that the car is rear-wheel drive, but its rebuilt automatic transmission is in fact, a transverse-mounted unit, driving the front wheels. The car also comes with disc brakes for ample stopping prowess.

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.

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.
An interesting name for a car – Cutlass. Yes, that’s what Oldsmobile called their compact car offering between 1961 and 1999. In 1964, the Cutlass graduated to the midsize segment, and also dabbled around as a personal luxury car between 1968 and 1988. That’s what we’ve got here, a third-generation 1968 Oldsmobile Cutlass S Convertible from San Antonio, Texas. The third generation saw some major changes, including fresh and more dynamic styling by Stan Wilen, different wheelbases for two and four-door variants, and some nice V8 power. The Cutlass S was the midrange trim, bookended by the F-85 beneath and the Supreme above. Today, this car is a fine way to relive the glorious Sixties of American automobilia, and do so with a machine from a celebrated brand that’s sadly, no more.

Yes, the Oldsmobile Cutlass is named after the sword of the same name. But, it’s also named after the Vought F7U Cutlass fighter jet. What a combination of inspirations for a car from a now-defunct brand. Over its production, the Cutlass would compete in the compact, midsize and personal luxury car segments. That’s quite broad for a single nameplate. Today’s 1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass is a third-generation car that hails from Belcourt, North Dakota. We’re told that it has been upgraded with a Rocket 455 engine, making it a real sleeper for those who don’t expect such an old-timey car to be so sprightly. So why not buy it and make it your weekend toy?
This 1970 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray captures the timeless beauty and performance of the early C3 generation, blending elegant curves with muscular presence. Finished in Marlboro Maroon, it reflects the era’s passion for dramatic, flowing sports car design. The 1970 model year is a standout among Corvette enthusiasts — marked by one-year-only design updates, flared fenders, and reduced production numbers following the GM strike, making examples like this both rare and collectible.
Who’s the world’s best luxury car maker? Chances are, you thought of Rolls-Royce. That’s the strength of the brand, not only in association, but in sheer proof by way of what they make. Those who experience a Rolls-Royce for themselves, whether it be ownership, a mere drive, or even a rear-seat ride, have all come away with this conclusion. RR does luxury at a different level, and owning one of their cars is a bucket list item for many. Today, we have this Florida-based 1993 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur for sale. With a mere 23,000 miles reported, this lovely long-wheelbase full-size sedan is the ticket to modern classic automotive nirvana. Join us as we tell you more, and if you want it, just shoot us a DM or call us the old-fashioned way.
There’s nothing like cruising around in a classic first-generation Ford Mustang. Anything made between 1964 and 1973 will do, really. Of course, many will lust for the fastback, while drop-top fans will head straight for the convertible. Meanwhile, those who want something a little cooler will prefer the hardtop. That’s what we have here, a nearly pristine 1966 Ford Mustang Hardtop that’s been repainted in Candy Apple Red and packs a 289ci V8 under the hood. This 2,727-mile machine could be yours if you choose – just give us a call or DM, or check it out in person – it currently resides in Maricopa, Arizona.
