1985 Oldsmobile Toronado "Caliente" at the 2023 AACA Fall Meet in Hershey Pa.

[@JCVACCARO]

My grandfather had this car in 85. His was black with the same color interior. He loved that car. I was 15 and still remember those super soft seats. I also remember when he got his 87 Tornado. He hated it and traded it for an 87 98 Regency brougham.

[@Mikesclassicautoworld]

All nice cars to me.👍 Thanks for watching.

[@jonrukavina9011]

Your grandpa was not alone in hating the '86-'89 Toros, Rivieras, & Eldos. They did redeem themselves somewhat from 90-92. Eww! And the troublesome digital dash didn't help either, but to be a little bit fair, this option was the earliest version of what is commonplace today.

[@davidkastin4240]

Omg 😍 what a dream Oldsmobile. Thanks Mike and Bob for showing this rare spectacular car and all of the special details and options. Love at first sight! ❤

[@Mikesclassicautoworld]

It is a great car and I love it. Bob is a super nice guy too. Thanks for watching.

[@salbongiorno8605]

Nice car. Bob is a real gentleman.

[@Mikesclassicautoworld]

For sure. Thanks for watching Sal.

[@curtdogg6435]

Nice! // My first car was a cream colored/ tan ’84 Oldsmobile Toronado! Had digital gauges, a sunroof, a build-in CB, & would talk to you when the doors were left open & lights were left on. Very underrated cars. “Coolest grandma car EVER!”

[@Mikesclassicautoworld]

Sounds very nice. Thanks for watching.

[@johnhenrymcmahon6878]

What a gorgeous Toronado! That is one helluva handsome car, man. Stunning interior. JV Johnny

[@Mikesclassicautoworld]

I agree John. Thanks for watching.

[@jonrukavina9011]

This car is beyond gorgeous. The paint is the lighter color that won't crack, fade, or weathercheck like the medium to dark colors did. One of 3 I've seen with memory seats and sheepskin seats. WOW!

[@Mikesclassicautoworld]

Yep. Thanks for watching.

[@roysjsg]

Definitely a quality classic...these cars were awesome in snow!

[@Mikesclassicautoworld]

👍Thanks for watching.

[@georgewoodget271]

Absolutely beautiful car !

[@Mikesclassicautoworld]

For sure. Thanks for watching George.

[@eriks9417]

Gorgeous surviving creampuff!!

[@Mikesclassicautoworld]

I agree. Thanks for watching.

[@charliebruckman8661]

I had a summer job my junior year in high school at the Olds dealership and the Caliente was definitely the top of the line, most desired Toronado. I was so sad to see it sold. Black on black. My God!!!

[@Mikesclassicautoworld]

Thanks for watching Charlie.

[@davidwoerman2565]

My 83 has several rare options. Rally guage package. Telescopic steering wheel, reminder package, Astroroof, Twilight Sentinal, passenger recliner, auto door locks, fiber optic key hole, and ultra rare F41 suspension.

[@Mikesclassicautoworld]

Sounds like a very nice car. Thanks for watching Dave.

[@terryjudice5896]

Absolutely MAGNIFICENT!! I love these Toronado Caliente’s! This one is sensational!! I would trade my much enjoyed and loved 2006 Lincoln Town Car 25th Anniversary Edition for one of this caliber. Excellent video and presentation!! Congrats to you and the owner!! 👏👏👏🏆

[@Mikesclassicautoworld]

Glad you like it Terry. Thanks for watching.

[@tripyramidpictures9224]

My favorite Oldsmobile, next to the Ninety Eight!

[@Mikesclassicautoworld]

I can see why. Thanks for watching.

[@NickBruketta]

Thank you, Bob This is truly a beauiful car. I am also fortunate enough to have one just like this, only with grey leather interior. I have always loved the body lines of the 84 & 85 caliente.

[@Mikesclassicautoworld]

That sounds like a nice one Nick. Thanks for watching.

[@steveshanabarger4108]

Beautiful interior;I love time capsules like this.

[@Mikesclassicautoworld]

Thanks for watching Steve.

[@rickmiller1649]

Thanks for sharing. Your car is beautiful. I had an 85 Caliente. It was gunmetal grey metallic with burgundy leather, minus the cat skin. It was a pretty car and comfortable but the 307 was not enough and the ride wasn't like a 98, but other than that, I loved it.

[@Mikesclassicautoworld]

Thanks for watching Rick.

[@Edward-tp5nc]

My Mom and Dad had a beautiful 84 Toronado Caliente. It was so nice and no problems. They drove it up to 96,000 and traded for another Toro. These were kind of rare. Collectors should pay attention

[@Mikesclassicautoworld]

I agree. Thanks for watching Ed.

[@adamwilner7516]

I drove these when they were new, a friend was General Manager for an Auto Group and he brought these home for his demo

[@Mikesclassicautoworld]

Lucky guy. 👍Thanks for watching.

[@frits4ever]

Nice car. 1195.00 $ for the optional sunroof and 895.00$ for the bose sound system. That is a lot of money for these two options in todays money ( total 2090.00 ) so roughly 6000.00 $ ... This is to have better music and a hole in your roof to see the sky... WOW.

[@Mikesclassicautoworld]

Lol. That's more reasons why this is a special car. Since posting this video I've seen another Caliente and it didn't have as many options as this one. Thanks for watching.

[@arleneconverse1238]

I truly believe this is the last car with classic car styling

[@Mikesclassicautoworld]

Thanks for watching Arlene.

[@tommiespencer7829]

Beautiful car. I always wanted the Caliente version just because of the stainless steel attachments around the car. Never got it but owned plenty of other versions from 80's - 85 's. I now own a 85 white, burgundy leather interior, burgundy simulated convertible top, and it has a luggage rack installed on the trunk. It's called a Toronado Roadster. Didn't know the Caliente came with the olds 350 motor as the gentleman in the video says his car has.

[@Mikesclassicautoworld]

Nice. Your white and burgundy Toro sounds very nice. You don't see the Toro's very much compared to the Eldo's and Riv's. This Caliente is special and Rob is a lucky guy. Its certainly in the right hands. Thanks for watching.

[@mathewdempsey16]

My dad used to have an 85 caliente. It was red with a white top, and I loved that car. He sold it about 15 years ago and has regretted it ever since. I’m thinking I might try to find the guy who bought it and see if he’ll sell it to me, I’d love to have it

[@Mikesclassicautoworld]

Nice. Good luck with your search. Hope you get it back. Thanks for watching.

[@jojobonds2860]

Very nice 👍🏾

[@Mikesclassicautoworld]

Thanks for watching.

[@alfredrossi5268]

Beautiful tornado❤

[@Mikesclassicautoworld]

For sure. 👍 Thanks for watching.

[@michealmccune7809]

Really nice car beautiful I love it I have a 1980 Oldsmobile Toronado brougham with the moon roof and tan leather interior with the optional olds 350 gas 4 barrel carburetor fully loaded with lots of goodie’s light metallic brown paint to with the spoke wire wheel covers padded soft vinyl top and power trunk with the optional opera lights and the microfiber finder indicator lights too as well both his and hers power seats and they recline to all four wheel disc brakes too the level ride air shocks system too AC but it doesn’t work they never do on my cars for some reason I guess I’m not aloud to have it and it has dual power mirrors also AM and FM cassette stereo system I mean this thing got everything that was offered in 1980 nice car I love it

[@Mikesclassicautoworld]

Wow sounds very nice.❤👍 Thanks for watching.

[@richardgreen4567]

That car is top self!😊

[@Mikesclassicautoworld]

Agreed. Thanks for watching.

[@LincolnRay]

The 1986 model was also known as a Toronado… the Troféo was a trim level… the Toronado eventually was replaced by the 4-door Aurora… and then Olds slipped into a corporate coma… and never regained consciousness… R.I.P.

[@Mikesclassicautoworld]

Thanks for the info Ray. Thanks for watching.

[@victordohleman953]

We had a Grey V8 with Burgundy Leather. I jumped it 5 feet in the air and tore the oil pan off. Welded it back and gave it back to dad before he knew anything. Who knew Tornados could fly

[@Mikesclassicautoworld]

Wow. Something tells me dad must have figured out something wasn't right. haha Thanks for watching.

[@milfordcivic6755]

Last year for this bodystyle.

[@Mikesclassicautoworld]

Thanks for watching.

[@eriks9417]

omg... MSRP $23,000. 4000 less than my 2009 sonata. i wanna go back to the early 80s.

[@Mikesclassicautoworld]

Thanks for watching Erik.

[@MrW10021]

nice

[@Mikesclassicautoworld]

Yep. Thanks for watching.

[@stephenshea8168]

I did not know they were still offering a 350V8....in 1985 ........... .I thought their was a 307V8 ...ONLY

[@Mikesclassicautoworld]

Thanks for watching Steve.

[@geraldstephens6612]

Wasn't this the last year of the Oldsmobile Toranado?

[@Mikesclassicautoworld]

I believe that was 92. Thanks for watching Gerald.

[@gene978]

Wow Beautiful! Great Care taker. $23K in 1985 would have bought you a Caddy or Lincoln. I was on the show room floors from age 17 in 1979 all the way to the 2000’s checking all makes and models in the area. We lost all our Local dealers. Ford, Mercury, Olds, Pontiac, Lincoln, Caddy, GMC, Buick, and only one left is Chevrolet. Sad. That Interior is Opulent. Weird about the Vanity Mirrors my 1981 Bonneville Sport Coupe Brougham had duel Vanity mirrors. I should have never insisted on the Diesel Engine costing an extra $1800 and Depreciation of 70% as soon as I left the dealer and spent more time in the dealer ship then I actually had the car. Fuel Injectors, Transmission, You name it. Lemon.

[@Mikesclassicautoworld]

I hear you Gene. Thanks for watching.

[@Edward-tp5nc]

No he’s wrong. 4 generations of Toronados. The 60s. 70s. Then 79-85. Then 86 -91.

[@Mikesclassicautoworld]

Thanks for watching Ed.

[@ZacLowing]

The way they keep repeating what the other says sounds like an echo chamber.

[@Mikesclassicautoworld]

Lol. You'll get over it. Thanks for watching. 👍

[@andypittman9850]

The Caliente package was the epitome of all trims for the last 2 years of production, the seat material inserts was one of the major choices of customers in colder climates as to the feel it was much warmer than all leather. For much needed clarification, the correct name of the fluffy material is Shearling, not calf skin as described by the owner. Even Ford used this material as an option in the short-lived EXP sport coupe. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shearling

[@Mikesclassicautoworld]

Thanks Andy. It is a very nice car for sure. Thanks for watching.
