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.
Now here’s a legend of the muscle car scene, the fearsome Oldsmobile 442. Made between 1964 and 1980 as a proper performance machine, it was well-known for decimating nearly all comers at the drag strip. The 442 was potent out of the box, but it could also be tuned with near unlimited scope. Today, those who seek a 442 do so not only for its performative capabilities but its style as well. That’s why we are proud to offer this Torrance-based second-generation 1969 Oldsmobile 442 for sale. With under 107,000 miles, it’s definitely been enjoyed but has so much more to give. Of course when you’ve got a 400ci V8 under the hood and a stick shift to control it with, you don’t want to end journeys too quickly…
Oldsmobile is yet another one of those American automakers who is, sadly, no more. Our country’s storied automotive history is littered with such manufacturers who gave us some truly spectacular machines; yet time and economics were unkind to them. But have you heard of the Oldsmobile Hurst/Olds range? You see, in 1968, Oldsmobile collaborated with renowned aftermarket tuning firm Hurst Performance to create a special line-up of sporty cars. They started with the Cutlass. By 1983, it was time to celebrate 15 years of this amazing partnership, and a line-up of special 15th Anniversary Edition Oldsmobile Hurst/Olds were made. This 1983 Oldsmobile Hurst/Olds 15th Anniversary Edition is one of just 3,001 units made, and comes to you with 14,152 miles. Currently residing in Hiawatha, Iowa, this car packs the iconic Rocket V8 and Lightning Rod transmission combo.
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.
In 1953, Chevrolet introduced a car that would shake up the American sports car market. Yes, the Corvette was born that year. With breathtaking styling by Harley Earl, this iconic sports car initially came with a six-cylinder engine that was definitely unsuitable for such an amazing piece of automotive art and mechanical excellence. So, Chevy rectified the mistake by 1955 with the introduction of the Small-Block V8. Initially displacing 265ci, it grew to a 327ci unit by 1962. That’s what we have in this 1957 Chevrolet Corvette, with its 327ci V8 that packs dual quad carburetors and a reported output of 400 horseower. This Washington-based car also comes with its original interior, as well as original Corvette wheels. If you want a special classic Corvette that’s definitely going to be valuable for years to come, talk to us right now.
