Thx!

[@commonwealthelectronics5229]

My thoughts exactly. I have owned three first generation Toronados, currently driving a '67, and this guy had lots of information I never knew about before. He definitely knows what he's talking about.

[@foolishwatcher]

At 18:16, you point out the single chamber master cylinder. Interestingly, due to watching this video yesterday, I got some other Toronado video recommendations today, of which one is about the inherent unsafe single chamber cylinder (search for "Toronado Tragedy"). So please, for your safety and further enjoyment of this beautiful car, consider updating the brake system to a dual chamber.

[@andrewinaustintx]

The styling of the 1966 Toronado is timeless. 1966 - 1967 were peak years with regards to GM build quality before cost cutting and the implementation of a new management structure a.k.a. General Motors Assembly Division or GMAD. For the workforce in Lansing these were happier times, which to me meant better cars.

Such a truly beautiful example of this car, in a wonderful monochromatic color scheme! Autumn Bronze and Dubonnet are my two favorite colors for these cars. I look forward to the test drive very much, Adam.

[@Sedan57Chevy]

I think the wheels are my favorite part. The throwback design to the old cords of the 30s is a nice little detail.

[@MNBluestater]

Congrats Adam, you now have the triptych of the ‘66 Toronado, ‘67 Eldorado and that stunning ‘67 Riviera. Absolutely, 1966-1967 was the pinnacle of GM stylists’ designs (the ‘66 Impala, ‘66 Catalina 2 + 2 and Grand Prix were also extremely gorgeous. I know you like your ‘65 but the ‘66 definitely more aggressive). The slam of that Olds/GM door, like a symphony.

[@linkedaccount2905]

My favorite Toronado, always admired how Bill Mitchell made cars that looked liked Show/Concept cars!

[@rogersmith7396]

Jay Leno interviewed the designer of his Toronado. Not Mitchell as I understand.

[@user-yc3py2oi1n]

Bill Mitchell was the VP of design. The ‘66 Toronado was designed by the incomparable David North. He appeared with Jay Leno. The video can be found by googling Jay Leno and David North.

Adam, I am ecstatic for you that you scored this iconic 66 Toro! Absolutely beautiful car. I have always loved the Autumn Bronze on 1966 Olds Toranodas and A bodies 442. Chevrolet also had this color combo in 1966 and called it Aztec Bronze. Don't recall any other GM divisions offering this one year only color, I just have only thought it was so rich and appropriate for this era of GM vehicles.

[@scottreal7787]

Beautiful car.

[@allenfarmer6491]

I'm soon to be 87yrs old in May, but I can still fondly remember riding in one of beautiful automobiles in 1967 while working in the Los Angeles are. It was owned by the Grant Piston Rings and it not only had the front engine but it also has a twin mounted in the rear as well.....they could operate singly or in tandem. The rear seat was about six inches further forward and of course there were vent louvers in the trunk, otherwise it was very inconspicuous. I think if memory serves me correctly, the combined horsepower was 800+ ....I was in it when both were on and let me tell you it was invigorating. Great car! Thank you for the video

[@stevejacobs8375]

'66 Toro & Riviera are 2 of the most beautifully designed automobiles ever ! The '67 Eldo too !!! There will NEVER, IMO, be any automobile as gorgeous as these 3. Thank-you GM. Steve

[@rightlanehog3151]

Adam, Like many others, I prefer the styling of your 1965 Pontiac Bonneville.😍 As a bonus, the Bonneville's 421 engine powers the right set of wheels. Having established that, this Toronado is the one FWD Oldsmobile in your collection that truly merits the description 'Classic'. 😁😁

[@MyHumanWreckage]

There is no doubt the Toronado/Riviera/Eldorado were three of the most beautiful cars GM ever built.

[@pyrexmaniac]

I covet your Toronado. The 66-67 Toros have always been one of my favorites, probably top three. The design is purely elegant yet unmistakably masculine...the taut skin seems to be pulled tight over the bulging, muscular wheel arches. Yours is as I would have ordered one appearance-wise....the deep, rich metallic red color with matching interior (the same scheme used in the introductory ads that ran in 1965-66) made for an absolutely stunning car back then, and IMHO, even more so today.

[@rogersmith7396]

The only interior I have seen which looks very good was a bucket seat and center console model. The base interior was pure Chevy. Cars in the 20s and 30s had those kind of speedometers. Nothing new. See "What its Like".

I had a nice Ocean Mist/Turquoise '66 Toronado in the mid-90s. Unfortunately, it was totaled from an engine fire due to the sticking float issue on early Quadrajets. I miss that car. Bought an equally nice '69 Eldorado a few years later, but I still preferred the Toronado. Maybe it's time for a '67 Riviera! Thanks for sharing Adam, I also love Autumn Bronze!

[@matthewharhai4039]

Facts! "Introduced in 1966 with a shape vaguely reminiscent of a purportedly female Soviet discus hurler, the Olds Toronado never made much of a sales mark until it's image was changed from muscle to svelte in 1971."

[@matthewharhai4039]

Unfortunately it did not sell well for GM. The second generation was actually more successful in sales. "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. So Cadillac should have blushed when designs for the 1971 generation Tornado were approved: in many ways it closely followed the crisp lines that had made the ’67 - ’70 Eldorado such a successful style leader. It wasn’t a bad strategy for Oldsmobile." #oldsmobiletoronado

[@tombrown1898]

Drama and elegance. I'm sure women bought Toronados, but the styling is decidedly masculine, and Sixties American masculine, specifically. I was only 13 when this car debuted, but by God, I wanted one!

[@cheftomsd]

When I was 16 this was my dream car. It was like nothing else at the time, especially with V8 FWD and appeared on every auto magazine cover.

[@phildavis3105]

THAT is THE car my mother owned in 1966 and in which I took my first driver’s license test (passed). Well not the exact vehicle, because hers had white seats with black carpet. What a magnificent car that was … maybe except for the brakes. As I recall, the ‘66 grille was meant to be evocative of the Cord grill.

[@stoneylonesome4062]

I think it would’ve been cool if they made the Original Toronado all-wheel-drive. I know that’s heresy in the Boomer Muscle culture, but if you wanna make it high tech, why not make it a true muscle car and give the Jensen Interceptor FF a run for its money? If you’re already powering the front wheels, you might as well power the rear ones as well.

[@blak1lyte]

I remember the adults saying we didn’t see the car anymore in the mid-70’s because it was a gas hog!

I like the W34 package of the 455 motor cars however there is no beating the look of the '66 model. Also, the steering wheel is a design that accentuates the dashboard and does not obscure the view of the speedo design.

Man love that Toronado. You were pretty close to me! Im in WA. I love the Toronados and Eldorados. Nothing like them. Those body lines fit every part of it perfectly. The monster low end torque from big block with the FWD and long gears. Feels like no other car ive been in. My Toronado never left the town i got it in until i got it. The family I got it from drove it to church and to town for groceries. Parked in 81 and sat until the grandson got it. Then to me.

[@pcno2832]

Those front bladed fenders (ie. "forefins") are damn scary; they could almost cut a pedestrian in half! Though they were a trend setter, going all the way up to the 1977 Ford LTDII, they were toned down a lot for 1968. I've read that the UPP layout was originally patented by Ford (which designed the Falcon to allow FWD variants) and taken up by GM for the F85, for which one prototype was built. When the public showed its indifference to advanced space-saving designs (eg. the Corvair and "rope drive" Pontiac), GM, also reluctant to build a high volume car that was dependent on Ford patents, decided to make a big novelty car from it instead. So Toronado buyers got something different for the sake of difference, and GM got FWD experience that would come in handy 15 years later.

[@anthonycaniano9892]

What a beautiful car! I don't remember their being lot of these around in the late 60's when I was a little kid but that's probably because they were so expensive. I am a little surprised that power windows were not standard at that price point because I believe they were on the Olds 98 LS.

A friend of mine had a car like this. I had a chance to ride in it from Houghton MI to Saginaw MI, a trip of about 500 miles. This was in 1978. The roads were covered in snow. I remember it being so secure and composed over those winter roads. Up to that time, I had never experienced a ride that good in an automobile. I am sure that car is long gone, as it was used as a daily driver back in the day. It is nice to see such a well preserved example.

Hi Adam. That’s a beautiful car and I love the color, inside and out, which seems to be uncommon. I’m a little surprised that the deluxe did not come standard with power windows, especially given the high cost. I also really like the dual snorkel air intake. I always appreciate when you provide some historical facts and figures, like the pricing, model line up, and comparison amongst the competition. It really helps with putting it into context which makes the discussion so much more interesting and informative. I wonder why the volume of units in 1967 was 50% lower than the ‘66, unless the ‘67 Eldorado cannibalized the Olds Toronado units. Great video and thanks for sharing!

14:32 It's so strange to hear that. Citroen CX of the mid 70's had those speedometers too and they were hated by reviewers and non-owners on principle. I'll never understand that.

Cars in the 20s, 30s, 40s, had the same speedo. Nothing new. They also had push button start which is totally regressive. I don't like the speedo at all. Give me analog VDO or Smiths guages any day. The Olds interior is really cheesy compared to a Cadillac. The bucket seat/console interior is by far the best. Same with Eldo. Cars with push button start ought to have a crank handle on the front. Those did'nt disappear until the 40s.

I was in sixth grade when this car came out. A neighbor of ours bought one in this very color. In a town of 10K, it was a sensation, looking like nothing else including the new Riviera. Always amazing how GM could make their different brands look so different. I remember riding a few times in this '66 and being fascinated with the rolling drum but also the massive gas pedal! And, of course, no vent windows--we all thought that was so radical.

[@rogersmith7396]

The lawyer down the street was on retainer at a large Olds dealership. He got a new Tornado almost every year. I have seen them all. His 66/67 was kind of a blah sand color. Another neighbor owned a funeral home. He got a new grey Cadillac every year. The old witch down the street had one of those huge tailfin Cads which she drove forever.

The body of the Toronado died of rust. But in 1986, my Dad sold that engine for $350 to a kid that put it into his olds cutlass. And the motor had 150k on it back then.
