Details: We dont get to see too many cars like this 1985 Oldsmobile Toronado around anymoreand#44; but with a strong V8and#44; fully independent suspensionand#44; four-wheel disc brakesand#44; and cold A/Cand#44; this is a classic that will be easy to drive to any event and will always a welcomed rare sight when you get there.


Even in the 80s you didnt see many of these running around. Sureand#44; lots of Rivieras and Eldoradosand#44; but the car that started the V8 front-wheel drive revolution remained elusive. This one has obviously been something special for its owner since the day it came home from the dealership. The light blue paint is mostly originaland#44; and it has been refreshed in the right areas to make sure this long coupe looks its best. And speaking of lengthand#44; those long doors fit well and dont sag from careless ownership. Everything you love about the design is still looking greatand#44; including the extra long hoodand#44; wide chrome bumpersand#44; and even the plastic body panels remain intact. And of course no premium car of the era would be complete without wire wheel covers.


The blue pinstripe on the outside is a great introduction to the blue cloth interior. The seats look quite niceand#44; and you have the option of carrying five family and friends or folding down two rows of armrests for a more individualized comfort. The wood paneling on the doorsand#44; dashand#44; and other trim instantly remind you of this cars premium appeal. In factand#44; as Oldsmobiles top-of-the-line machineand#44; the Toronado was loaded with features and amenities that would equal its Cadillac sibling. It includes power windowsand#44; power locksand#44; cruise controland#44; the original AM/FM/cassette stereoand#44; and provisions for power seats. There have even been some great upgrades like keyless entry and the air conditioning is running modern R134a for easy continued servicing.


Toronados used a 307 cubic inch V8 that would eventually be used throughout GM to power luxury machines like the Cadillac Broughamand#44; and for good reason: its smooth and torquey. The presentation here is quite honestand#44; and shows signs of good maintenance. The secret to why these Toronado are likely to gain popularity is how they behave on the road. This has luxury elements like the Oldsmobiles supple rideand#44; power steeringand#44; and four-speed automatic transmission with highway-friendly overdrive. But it also has great driver qualities like the fully independent suspension and optional four-wheel disc brakes. The result is a classic luxury machine that feels quite a bit more modern than you might expect on the open road.

You get restoration receiptsand#44; maintenance receiptsand#44; owners manualand#44; factory buildsheetand#44; and title documentation with this sale. Its an interesting classic thats getting rarer by the dayand#44; so pick up this Toronado while its still affordable. Call today!!!
