Oldsmobile Toronado Car Sales Film 1966

The Oldsmobile Toronado is a personal luxury car manufactured and marketed by the Oldsmobile division of General Motors from 1966 to 1992 over four generations. The Toronado was noted for its transaxle version of GM's Turbo-Hydramatic transmission, making it the first U.S.-produced front-wheel drive automobile since the demise of the Cord in 1937.
The 1966 model was widely recognized as a step forward in design, gaining publicity for the division by winning several leading automotive awards, such as Motor Trend's Car of the Year Award[1] and Car Life's Award for Engineering Excellence. It also was the only American car ever to be awarded recognition in Europe, as the third-place finisher in the European Car of the Year competition.

My mom drove Toronados from 1966 until they were discontinued. She told me facts from this commercial verbatim when I was in nursery school. They were so big and cozy.

A friend of our family designed the fuel system for this car, he was such a nice, funny man and brilliant too!

i first saw this car walking down my street in 1966, the very first car i was actually excited about, and its been rare to get that feeling since.

Is it restored? Do you still have the drum brakes?

[@markbehr88]

Yes. In very nice condition. Was owned by an Olds dealer who put Corvette 4 wheel discs on it.

If they hadn't used that Zephyr prototype as the Batmobile for the TV series....this car would've definitely done the trick.
