In 1966, Oldsmobile introduced the Toronado, the first front wheel drive car in the USA in decades. The design was far ahead of its time and now the cars are being appreciated for their unique engineering and their investment potential. This classic beauty is in very good condition with a recent respray in one of the most desirable factory colors and refreshed interior.

The 385 horsepower 425 cubic inch Rocket V8 engine mated to a 3-Speed Turbo-Hydro-matic Transmission (THM425) pulls strong as the unique scrolling speedometer climbs up to highway speed and beyond.

If you have never driven one of these cars, you will not believe the power and torque they have...

These machines are the ULTIMATE PERSONAL LUXURY COUPE!
