1966 Oldsmobile Toronado
View Description
This would be the first American made mass produced front wheel drive automobile and what a car! Power comes from a 425 cubic inch V8 producing 385 horsepower and 475 lbs/ft of torque! That's quite an entrance for a front wheel drive car. Power is transferred to the front wheels via a TH-425 automatic transmission. This was very close the TH-400 and was found to be very durable. Something different for consumers was the flat floor being there was no need for a transmission tunnel or a hump for the driveshaft. This along with the fastback styled rear end made for a very futuristic styled car. The Toronado was an instant success for Oldsmobile and production continued until 1992 when it was replaced by the Oldsmobile Aurora.
This 1966 Oldsmobile Toronado is powered by its original 425 cubic inch V8 and is painted in a very catchy color named Tropic Turquoise Metallic with a matching interior color. Pop up headlights, white wall radial tires, Power windows, Power brakes, Power steering and A/C make this a great cruising car and a hit at almost any car show. The car received a frame on restoration 2 years ago. The car was taken down...
