The 1966 Oldsmobile Toronado remains a landmark car. With sexy packaging and a revolutionary front-wheel-drive layout, it catapulted Olds to the top of the personal luxury car heap. Hagerty Classic Cars executive editor Stefan Lombard recently visited the Lingenfelter Collection and discusses what to look for if you’re in the market for a first-generation Toronado.

I forgot how nice that car looks.
Had a 1970 back in the day.
One of the FIRST front-wheel drive cars!!
Nice on the Hi-way, good top speed too!
Hell yes sir 👍
Yep, but, a little hard on your pocket for city driving! (Huge gas tank,,,11-14mpg,,,,and that’s on the highway)
The First
Jay Leno’s ride!
Jay Leno’s is gold…
Aww-man, Jay L. Got-em all!!
We had one when I was growing up. My dad bought a brand new 66, white with turquoise interior. I sure like to find another!
I had a 69 one it was a brilliant motor vehicle
Also, I remember it was extremely roomy, & didn’t have that “hump” in the floor! (Front wheel Dr. had no drive shaft) ,,,so the floor was flat! It made sense-but it was odd looking!
Front wheel drive way ahead of its time
