Automotive Facts You Didn't Know: The "Toronado" Name Originated On A Chevrolet!

You Tube

 

Did not know that. Very interesting.

 

I didn't know that either. He spent more time talking about Opel cars than the Toronado though. No real fault I guess, just that the video is sort of mis-labeled. I remember the '67 Opel and remember seeing them over in Germany in the late sixties when I was going to High School while my father worked at the USAF base. Very good looking cars. I didn't know that they had a Chevrolet powerplant under the hood.

 

Looks like a 1963 impala with a different front end,,, I never knew this !
