"Ranking with such block-buster Oldsmobile introductions as the Hydra-Matic transmission in 1940 and the Rocket V8 in 1949, Oldsmobile introduced its front-wheel-drive Toronado in 1966." - Standard Catalog of American Cars. Developed by Oldsmobile, the Toronado's Unitized Power Package (UPP) cleverly packaged a Rocket V8 and Hydra-Matic transmission into an engine bay no larger than that of a conventional rear-wheel-drive model. It was America's first full-size front-wheel-drive car since the 1930s Cords.
Styled by GM's chief stylist Bill Mitchell, the Toronado was conceived as a sleek fastback coupé; undeniably one of the most handsome American cars of its day, it is also one of the most desirable of post-war Oldsmobiles. As the company's top-of-the-range model, it was exceptionally well equipped, even in standard form; early versions produced before the 1971 restyle are considered more collectible. This example of a landmark American automobile rarely seen in the UK was imported from the USA in 2018 and registered to its first owner in this country in 2019.
Used regularly over the last three years, it is described by our vendor as in very good condition throughout and totally standard, running and driving well; indeed, our vendor says he would not hesitate to drive it home from the sale (although we hope that won't be necessary!). Accompanying documentation consists of an Ohio title, import paperwork, and a V5C Registration Certificate.
Please note on arrival the steering (company coupling) was broken and will need urgent attention. The vendor has offered to take the vehicle back to his premises to repair the coupling and will give free UK delivery to the buyer when the repair is completed.
