Your chance to own a bit of history: The Toronado was the "Big American Car" not built for top-speed running, but to make a statement. It was a technical marvel featuring "front-wheel drive" as a tour-de-force. The Toronado was the last innovation in the 'Oldsmobile' brand. The 1985 was the last year the Toronados were made with the '79 vintage body style, powered by a V8 with front-wheel drive featuring full frame construction.
