The Oldsmobile Toronado is a personal luxury car manufactured and marketed by the Oldsmobile division of General Motors from 1966 to 1992 over four generations.

The Toronado placed third in the 1966 European Car of the Year competition and won the 1966 Motor Trend Car of the Year award in the U.S.
Sharing the GM E platform introduced by the rear-wheel drive Riviera in 1963 and adopted a year later with the front-wheel drive Cadillac Eldorado, the three models shared the E platform for most of the Toronado's 26-year history.
The name "Toronado" had no prior meaning and was originally selected for a 1963 Chevrolet show car.

    The nine door double axle airport transport is a riot.

    The 71 model was modeled after the late 60s Eldorado and bears striking resemblance. Perhaps this is why 2nd gen sold double the units than the 1st gen.

    Where'd you get your numbers?? I've been looking at Toronados for sale online and your numbers don't match up.

    Very very beautiful car model, especially the first's ones. 1966 until 1971. The others 👎

    It started out unique, but then became just another badge engineered GM product after the first generation.

    In near future, transforming into electric will be affordable and the 60's models can become ideal candidates.

    Chrono Logy - I really liked the 1970 version. Styles and lines we probably we’ll never see again; bygone era.
