DETAILED & READY TO ENJOY When GMs Oldsmobile Division launched its
all-new Toronado personal luxury car in the fall of 1965, it became
an instant design and engineering icon. The first front-wheel drive
production vehicle from GM and the first such American automobile
produced since the Cord 810/812 of the mid-1930s, the Toronado was
named Motor Trend magazines Car of the Year for 1966. The Toronado
offered innovative drivetrain packaging with its Turbo-Hydramatic
automatic transmission mounted under one cylinder bank of the 425
cubic-inch V-8 engine, and chain-type drivetrain. Despite weighing
nearly 5,000 pounds, the Toronados balance was near-perfect, and
with 375 bhp on tap for 1966 and 10 more in 1967, this ideal Grand
Touring machine could easily top 130. Today, with its athletic,
chiseled lines based upon GM advanced stylist David Norths early
Blue Flame Car sketches, the first-generation Toronado remains an
unqualified stylistic benchmark from the fertile era under
legendary GM Styling chief Bill Mitchell. Formerly owned by noted
collector Milton Robson, this 1967 Oldsmobile Toronado is an
original survivor that remains in excellent, collector-grade
condition with just under 10,250 actual miles at the time of
listing. Retaining the original paint finish and interior, the
Toronado is equipped with the optional bucket-style Strato-Bench
front seat with individual seatbacks, an AM/FM radio, tilt steering
column, and power-assisted brakes and steering. Blade-style front
fenders, pop-up headlamps, and a Kamm-type rear treatment are among
the sleek Toronados unforgettable visual cues. A full-size spare
wheel/tire, roadside jack, and lug wrench are included, along with
the original books/manuals, color selection book, and dealer-issued
Protect-O-Plate, plus copies of previous titles and the last
registration document. In addition to professionally applied
ceramic paint coating, this exceptionally original and well
preserved survivor is an outstanding example of Americas first
front-drive automobile of the postwar era. Experience it for
yourself by contacting us today for full details, viewing
arrangements, and a test drive.
