Oldsmobile introduced the Toronado in 1965 as their personal luxury car contender. What made the Toronado most distinctive was not its styling or land yacht proportions, but the fact that it was front-wheel drive! Yes, this was probably one of a handful of V8 front-wheel drive cars around at the time. What a curious decision by General Motors, and you can discover their curio right here with this 20,197-mile 1985 Oldsmobile Toronado Brougham that we’ve got for sale. Currently relaxing in Grand Prairie, Texas, this all-original restored car awaits a new owner, which might very well be you, dear reader!
The squared-off styling of this 1985 Oldsmobile Toronado Brougham is quintessentially late ’70s and early ’80s, since this car hails from the third generation that was introduced for the 1979 model year. The car includes a vinyl-look for the rear portion of its roof, which was a popular cosmetic feature at the time – making your hardtop look like it had a soft top. Quad headlamps, wire-effect wheels and chrome bumpers are some more of its intricate details that must be pointed out. The interior of this 1985 Oldsmobile Toronado Brougham is configured in a four-seat form, with blue cloth upholstery for the seats. The seats themselves look comfortable and squishy in that lose-yourself-in-them manner. As you’d expect, there’s plenty of wood trim, since wood was, and continues to be, an indicator of luxury in a car. The car also has air conditioning, which is essential as our world heats up every year. You’ve also got a newer Panasonic head unit with CD playback capabilities and an AUX port, enabling you to enjoy some modern tunes as you cruise around in this beauty. Power windows and power mirrors are also present.
Powering this 1985 Oldsmobile Toronado Brougham is a rebuilt 307ci V8 that was rated for around 140hp at the time – remember that automakers were still coming out of the Malaise Era. The engine’s longitudinal mounting may lead you to believe that the car is rear-wheel drive, but its rebuilt automatic transmission is in fact, a transverse-mounted unit, driving the front wheels. The car also comes with disc brakes for ample stopping prowess.

The Toronado from Oldsmobile was this prolific automaker’s crack at the personal luxury car segment. Introduced in 1965, the Toronado would be produced until 1992, across four generations. The name was something that was created by General Motors, and had been used on a Chevy concept two years prior. Closely related to the Cadillac Eldorado and Buick Riviera, the Toronado can be considered their lesser well-known cousin. That’s why you’ll definitely stand out from the crowd at any classic car meet if you rock up in this 49,259-mile 1978 Oldsmobile Toronado. Why run with the pack, or hustle with the herd? Instead, forge your own path down classic car avenue and start collecting some of America’s lesser-known gems – like this car. It’s also said that all maintenance is up to date, so you can banish that worry from your mind.
Oldsmobile is one of those great American auto brands that has slowly faded away and gone into the history books. It joins a long list of great names, such as Pontiac, Mercury, Hudson and many more. Over 35 million Oldsmobile vehicles were produced over a 107-year existence. One of their well-known nameplates was the Toronado, a personal luxury car. Four generations were made, between 1966 and 1992. This 1977 Oldsmobile Toronado is a second-generation car that’s reported to be mostly original. It comes to you with its original paint, and we’re told that documentation is available. Hence, it’s an ideal car to experience a slice of opulent Seventies land yacht-style motoring.
Oldsmobile was one of General Motors’ well-known brands, until it was retired in 2004. One of the brand’s most prolific models was the 88 full-size car. Produced across ten generations from 1949 to 1999. In 1957, the third generation debuted, and had a few variants. One of these was the Rocket, which represented the base model. Moving up, one could find the Dynamic 88 and Super 88, but exterior badging on these variants was limited to merely ‘88’. Today, we’ve got a meticulously-restored 1957 Oldsmobile Rocket 88 for sale in Whittier, California. The car comes with a rebuilt engine and gearbox that have reportedly got under 1,000 miles on them.

The Oldsmobile Cutlass was a car that was made by this now-defunct American brand between 1961 and 1999. The Cutlass saw the light of day as a compact car in 1961, where it remained for just three model years. Then, it moved to the midsize segment until 1981. That’s where this third-generation 1971 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442 Tribute comes from. With 82,754 miles to its name, this car is styled to resemble the iconic 442 muscle car option package that was available for the Cutlass. Why not make this car your first or next classic, then? It’s largely original, with a few enhancements here and there.
One of the smartest classic cars to own and drive on a regular basis has got to be a Mercedes-Benz SL from the R107 generation of 1971 to 1989. These cars were Hollywood darlings when they were new, and over 300,000 were sold worldwide. It’s estimated that 68% of these ended up in the United States, as official or gray market imports. That’s why getting your hands on one isn’t that hard. This Florida-based 1975 Mercedes-Benz 450SL is one great example. The car has got 86,100 miles under its belt, and has received some new components to keep it driving as sweetly as it did back when it was new.
Named after the opulent California neighborhood of Bel Air, Chevy’s Bel Air was definitely aimed at those who want to feel posh. Introduced as a full-size car in 1949, the Bel Air was made until 1975 in the United States, running up to 1981 in Canada. First generation Bel Airs, such as this 74,475-mile 1954 Chevrolet Bel Air 4-Door Sedan are always ideal for those wishing to dabble in owning classics. This particular car is up for sale in Westminster, California, and has got some new parts to bring it back up to near-factory condition. Why not check it out, after all it’s a classic that will be relatively easy to maintain given that the Bel Air was quite popular in its heyday.
The youth of the day were drawn to the iconic Ford Mustang style, and when they grew up to become adults of means, they were able to invest in their dream vehicle. The reason we say invest is that today, a classic Mustang is worth so much more than what it was back in the day. It should be noted that the iconic Mustang design has also stood the test of time. For fans of the pony car series and all things Mustang, this stunning 1965 Ford Mustang Coupe is a perfect choice. With the original owner’s manual and documents included, this car comes to you with a few upgrades. Its current owner states that the recipes for the completed work are available. Take a chance on this eye-catcher and get praise on your next Sunday run.
