New Guy In Nevada

Hi,

I got real lucky found a nice 88 Toronado 95k Miles. It was garaged, and the Olds maint schedule, Owners manual, all were included. That was in November and I've been lurking here ever since. Previous cars were 65 Mustang, A Suburban, and a couple of Chevy's. We love this Olds.

I know its not the much loved sixties vintage but for what it was its a damn fine car. Lots of info on this site and hopefully it will help me keep this great car in the shape it deserves.

Hal

I think you have a cool car. That was the last generation of the Toronado, correct?

I know that '88 was the first year for the Trofeo. Production was 8,798 compared 7,968 for the Coupe. Base price was $22,695 versus $20,598 for the Coupe. You probably know that 1992 was the last year for the Toronado.

Trofeo was the beginning of the end for toronado. I believe that they refer to it as 4th gen.

@MaxDog - Im in Vegas also.

Hey, Hal, so glad you are here on CO with your Trofeo! We have a good friend in Tyler, TX, that has TEN (10) of 'em! Five of those ten (88-89-90-91-92) have won Best of Class at the last 5 OCA Nationals! Really a fine stable of Trofeo's, and he does love 'em! Once again, WELCOME!
