I stumbled onto this site looking for some troubleshooting information for a 66 Toronado. From what i have seen so far, I definitely seem to be in the right place for help. Lots of very knowledgeable members here, and everyone seems very willing to help out others. I am a definite Olds newbie, and am not the most experienced auto repair guy in the world, but I am willing to give things a shot most of the time.

I am hoping that I will learn enough to do more than just ask questions here, but actually be able to help people out too. In the meantime, I just wanted to say hi.

1966 Toronado Deluxe, 31,000 miles
A previous owner made several modifications to the stock version of the car, including the "knock off" hub caps, sequential turning signal lights, and the addition of the rear marker lamps (not sure what year they first appeared).

 

Two more pictures - it looks like 5 is the max per post

 

Oh, very nice. Very nice indeed.

 

Thank you. I have always thought that considering the era in which it was made, the 66 is quite a stunning design.

I will try to take some additional pictures, including the engine compartment sometime soon. The engine is not quite as clean as the outside, but I think it can be detailed out pretty easily.

 

Very nice car. These are great cars. Looks like you got a nice one. Congrats and welcome. There is a lot knowledge here.

 

Interesting car!
What is the rear end ratio?

:-)

 

Don't you mean "front end ratio?"

Great color combo!

 

Kewl car! Always liked those.

 

Love it. I believe the rear marker lamps were from 68-69

 

Welcome to CO! Nice looking Toronado. I belong to the Riviera Owners Association and we had our national meet this June in Lexington, Kentucky. The Toronado Owners Association joined us as well. Might want to check them out and join there organization, lots of knowledgeable people over there too.

 

Welcome to the forum, love the first gen Toros. Never saw the spinner hubcaps before, were they original?
