I've been away from the computer and more into the physical realm of late. Just catching up here!

Went to a couple car shows. I've heard dozens of times "wow i havent seen one of these in... well... forever!". It's pretty cool having a relatively rare car and telling people all about it! Between this and just driving it, the work pays off.

 

Is that black or dubonnet? Either way sooo nice.

 

Looking Nice!

I hear ya, I get way more looks driving my 67 Toro than I do with my 69 H/O.
My problem is I need to get the '67 out more of which the exhaust & fuel tank replacement will help get it back on track.

 

That is a stunning car. Glad you are enjoying it and it is not collecting dust.

 

That Toronado is a beauty, very nice!

 

That's one beautiful Toronado! The lines of your Toronado are indeed stunning. I keep going back just to look at it again!

Incredible vehicle from its 425 to its unique design. And I see it's in the right hands... WOW !

I've seen them in regular everyday life and it's always impressive.

 

Thanks! It's crazy how dark it looks at dusk. It's very ... dubonnet ... in full sun. Really love this color.

Thanks, I drive the toy cars as often as possible, even if it means running an errand once in a while. Shh don't tell Hagerty!

 

Plum or black interior?
Dad had a Dubonnet/plum 66 in 69-71.
Its one of several cars which cemented me as a car kid/adult/kid.

 

Black interior.

 

Local upon seeing a Toronado in Lynchburg, the land of Falwell...

"Ahain't never seen no car like thet. Whut izzat, a Burick? Looks sinful to me!"

😛

Sure has come a long way. Properly stunning!

Curious if you ever found out where it was sold new. Jack Esteppe opened his Olds-Datsun dealership in Lynchburg in 1966. Would be cool if it was the first Toronado Mr Esteppe sold.

 

Beautiful Toronado. My first car was a '68 and I loved it! Fast & smooth.

 

I would love to learn more ownership history of this car! Previously was owned in Appomattox but I think he was just flipping it. Any resources you may have or can recommend? 396876M509923

 

Yep, that's a real pretty one.
You've got to join the Olds Club of America and bring your Toro out to a National Meet - next year in Bowling Green, KY - https://oldsmobileclub.org/
