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.
