ok here's my hole!....
Since my 70 toro came without an interior mirror and now I'm having trouble finding the correct one, it occurred to me to post a pic of what I got so everyone can see, I've talked and shared pics with buick farmer who's parting a 67-8 delta and a 66 toro...he posted pics mine looks different, as in actual finished hole, a 1 piece windshield interior molding that does'nt look like it was ever covered by a mirror base...also talked to Rocwal(dan) who's parting a 70 98 his looks like the delta pics....So before I go and buy the wrong one I'll look for imput from you guys...is this a standard hole for a 70 toro or is this some optional hole that a different than common mirror goes in or did a 70 toro's mirror glue to the windshield and then70 toro mirror hole0001.jpg a light and visor clip went in hole what?...thanks now...cliff

1970 Toronado inside mirror mounts to the windshield like later cars. I think it was the first GM car to have it.
What you have there is a visor retainer/map lamp that is missing its bezel and lens. I see those more on Buicks than I do Oldsmobiles.

I was starting to think this was the case, although it's a 1st gen car it did'nt match any 1st gen cars I did get pics on...I think this was also the first year for antenna in glass, or was that 69? it's all a blur to my old *** now....thanks for the input....cliff
OMG I had one on some car a Buick I think it was a 75 Regal looks like this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1972-...#ht_500wt_1182 buy it now $30 and paint it

but I bet this would work (sorry took so long found a Toronado flood lamp for buy it now

Oh yeah, that looks like it,even the color is somewhat close, I see the plastic rectangular bracket there too!, I found one guy with a 70 toro he's parting whos gonna send pics and price after work so If he does'nt have the right stuff I'll probably buy this now, and it helps to see what else these thing came on.....thanks!
I wish I had a close(r) up on that mirror, cause I got one but it looks altered at the windshield end compared to later models I remeber, but this is the best pic I've seen yet on mirror mount...thanks again...cliff
sure thing - so on the 70 mirror, google chrome has a cool feature to enlarge / zoom any webpage (ctrl + +) and from what I can see this might have been an option, I see different mountings on the few I see when I googled 1970 Toronado
well, maybe maplight and windshield mount mirror came with strato bucket interior upgrade as a package,What I'm farmiliar with on the mirror mount is called a button on the windshield side, retangular shaped with round edge on top, mines got a little round (button) thing at the end of mirror bracket nothing on windshield and p.o. tried to glue that on windshield, so unless that's an early version It's been altered....I've only dabbled in google chrome and got to get my *** to work so I'll check that out later...thanks again...cliff
