OMG!! Those short Toro's were likely the inspiration for the American Motors AMX! Check out the 66 Concept AMX and compare similarities with that last page of photos. I know the front ends are different...but....

Can you scan each photo individually?
Use the highest resolution you can
A page with 3 pix on it is wasting a lot of pixels on background
Auto History Preservation Society [Kurt?] perhaps can assist with time and/or machinery to save these hella rare images.
I for one am very grateful for your efforts.

Id love some of those as garage art.
Id be willing to buy high rez scans from you - and promise not to reproduce or publically share.
Or if you prefer 8x10s made from the originals. Of course would pay for those too.

OK here are individual scans, some are fresh pics for the day!
Richard tells me on the car with the black lines are measurement lines every five inches using the dash as the start point!
Also note that below the car the dark area is a surface plate. I have used them in a machine shop that I used to work, but nothing that big!

What gives with the last pic and covered document? Super secret data?

Did anybody notice this pic shows something pretty interesting?
Must have been taken during Toronado development. The car appears to be a '65 Buick Riviera that's been modified to accept the Toronado drivetrain and suspension. Notice the cut-out rear wheel opening and the monoleaf spring rear suspension.
Also interesting is the aluminum 8-lug Kelsey-Hayes Pontiac-style brake drums all around.

I also have a lot of Toronado press and non press stuff that's in these albums again when I get the chance to scan more stuff.

Take a look at the model at the museum it has those type of rims on it. I have seen pics of a 1964 88 mule with a long nose that had a toro drive line in it.
Any pics of the Hurst Hairy Olds? I was told it spent some time in the engineering garage.
