Description
This 1975 Oldsmobile Toronado Brougham retains its numbers-matching 455 V8, and it has also been given the right respect and investments to remain a high-class comfortable cruiser inside and out. So here's a great way to stand out in all the best ways without ever breaking the budget.
This Olds is all about a vintage presentation with only the right well-integrated upgrades. For example, Robbin Egg Blue is an upgrade from the original white. It's a true '70s-style color that also combines with the white vinyl roof, unique door stripes, and whitewall tires to give you a cool two-tone like appearance. Plus, the more recent investment in paint means a terrific shine that loves to highlight the curves of the distinct sheetmetal. The big chrome bumpers do the same. Plus, they're part of an intricate brightwork package that looks complete on this well-preserved and well-presented coupe.
Inside, the Toronado was all about offering luxuries for both rows of seating. The front-wheel drive gave it a flat floor for the whole carload to stretch out their legs. And the comfy velour and wood-like trim have a time capsule quality. But up front was still where all the best features were. The split-bench is power adjustable and has an armrest to provide the driver with the feeling of a personal luxury car. In fact, all the features surround the steering wheel to truly envelop you. It's only a short reach away from luxuries like the power windows, power locks, tilt column adjustment, 8 Track and AM/FM stereo controls (even the power antenna works!) Plus, the factory air conditioning is blowing cold with modern R134a to keep you feeling comfortable in the luxury Olds.
Under the hood is the numbers-matching 455 cubic-inch V8. The Rocket big block is topped with a correct Rochester four-barrel carburetor, and everything looks complete, right down to the factory decals. While this has a terrific level of preservation, that doesn't mean it missed out on maintenance. So the big V8 fires up eagerly and idles smoothly. This is a big torque motor that loves to move this luxury coupe with authority. It has all the easy driving features, too, like power steering, power brakes w/discs up front, and the three-speed automatic transmission. Even the cruise control is working nicely!
This is a fantastic presentation of a personal luxury machine, and it really feels like it's ready to hit the road right now. So if you love a distinct classic American with all the best features, call today!

About Oldsmobile
Ah, Oldsmobile, the very name conjures up images of classic American automobiles and the open road. Let's embark on a leisurely journey through the annals of automotive history with this venerable brand.Our story begins in 1897 when a man named Ransom Eli Olds founded the Olds Motor Vehicle Company. He wasn't the first to build cars, but he was a pioneer in mass production techniques. In 1901, Oldsmobile introduced the "Curved Dash" Olds, widely considered one of the first mass-produced automobiles in the United States. It was simple, reliable, and affordable, making it accessible to the masses.
Fast forward a few decades to the 1930s, and we encounter one of Oldsmobile's most iconic creations, the Oldsmobile Rocket 88. This was a car that not only looked cool with its sleek design but also packed a punch under the hood. The Rocket 88 featured a powerful V8 engine, earning it the nickname "the first muscle car." It was a true American classic, a car that epitomized the spirit of the open road and the freedom of post-war America.
As we approach the 1950s, Oldsmobile continued to innovate. The Oldsmobile Fiesta, introduced in 1953, was notable for being one of the first cars to feature a fully wraparound windshield, a design feature that would become a hallmark of the era. It also showcased the brand's commitment to luxury and style.
But perhaps the zenith of Oldsmobile's excellence came in the 1960s with the Oldsmobile 4-4-2, a car that was both sporty and practical. The 4-4-2 stood for 4-barrel carburetor, 4-speed manual transmission, and dual exhausts. It was a muscle car for those who wanted power without sacrificing comfort. It was the embodiment of the American muscle car era.
Then there was the Oldsmobile Cutlass, a car that became an American institution. It was a family sedan, a sports car, and a luxury car all rolled into one. The Cutlass was reliable, comfortable, and versatile, making it one of the best-selling cars in American automotive history.
Sadly, as the years went by, Oldsmobile faced challenges, and the brand that had once been a symbol of American automotive innovation and excellence ceased production in 2004. It marked the end of an era.
But the legacy of Oldsmobile lives on in the hearts of car enthusiasts, collectors, and anyone who appreciates the classic American automobile. It's a brand that gave us some of the most iconic cars in automotive history, a brand that embodied the American dream of freedom, mobility, and style.
So here's to Oldsmobile, a name that will forever be associated with the golden age of American automobiles and the enduring spirit of adventure on the open road.
