Smile 1966 toronado

I just picked this car up at an estate sale. 17 years in a garage in Henderson, Nv. Had a flat bed take it home and washed it. Then did all the fluid stuff and put the fuel line in a can and it fired immediately. Anew engine was installed before it was parked and the owner fell ill. Thought every one would like to see it. More pics to come and progress. I am driving it right now after 2 weeks work on brakes -etc.

1966 Toronado

This is what I have after a lot of work. One pic is the interior when I got it. this car had a new engine and paint before being stored for 17 years. Today what a wonderful car. Can't help myself I love Oldsmobiles.

Would love to take a look, Ed. Unfortunately the link appears to be invalid.

Hi, Going to try again to post pics of what my Toronado looks like now with new interior. Forgot to mention when I picked this car up it still had J C penny l-78-15 tires on it and a funny tweed material for seats in it. It is really hot here in Henderson, NV and after sitting in a garage that was not insulated for 17 years the foam in the seats crumbled when I sat in it, sooo put the proper seat covers in it.
