 This piece of American history for sale is both regal and rebel combined. The Oldsmobile Toronado is the first front-wheel drive vehicle produced in America since the 1937 Cord. Its genesis sprang from the designers at Oldsmobile petitioning the decision-makers at General Motors for a personalized production vehicle that could compete with the contemporaries being put out by Ford and others. After much discussion, General Motors gave the go-ahead for a larger-than-planned platform, with permission for the designers at Oldsmobile to use their imagination. What they produced with the Toronado was beyond anyone's expectations.

A monstrous 425 was laid out in this front-wheel drive, two door sleigh packing a whopping 380hp from the factory! As one author described, "It's a cross between a locomotive and a chariot being pulled by a skilled and eager team of horses." The flat front floor, combined with luxurious seating and yards of chrome-laiden trim accentuate the 'I'm the boss' aura that surrounds you every time you sit behind the wheel. This classic is truly a vehicle to enjoy!

This particular vehicle has been in the family for many, many years. My uncle owned before his passing, and treated it with kid gloves. He stored it in his climate controlled garage at all times, and never drove it during the winter. He would get it out every summer for a few trips, running about one tank of gas through it per summer. Unfortunately, because it was stored in his garage, a box fell off the shelf onto the hood, making two small marks. Upon his passing, his wife could not keep it, so my mother purchased it from her. It has been treated with the same civility and respect as my uncle gave it, such as it deserves. It is stored at all time in our heated garage, and is always driven respectfully. To the best of our knowledge, the odometer reading of "16466" are the original miles. The only piece that appears to be missing is the one inch riser that attaches to the underside of the air cleaner housing. This vehicle has been a joy to own and drive, but mom and dad are to a point in their lives where they don't get to enjoy the car as it should be enjoyed. Dad prefers his motorcycle, and mom can't get over the '73 Cougar she owns like when she was younger. So, they have decided to pass this stately machine onto the next individual that can indulge in the vehicle like they once did.
