Oldsmobiles at the Veteran's Day car show

The annual Veteran's Day car show is held on the grounds of the New Mexico Veteran's Home in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. This year, there were five Oldsmobiles in attendance, which is probably the largest number in the five years I've been going there. (I didn't take either of mine--too far away and didn't want to spend the whole day there). It is always a nice, well-attended, well-organized, fun show.

There were two 442s, a '67 and a '70, and three Toronados, a '66, a '67, and a '70. All looked great.

Good ol’ T or C! I grew up in Carlsbad and had a 1970 Cutlass in high school. Wasn’t a 442 or in near that good of shape, but it was my first Olds.

You're referring to this one?






That car wasn't quite right, anyway, as the "Toronado" script on the rear end was painted body color, and I don't think that's correct.





Anyway, the information card in the window did say '66.
