Cars story :
The 1966 Toronado had head-turning styling with pop-up headlights that swungup in front of simulated hood scoops. Vacuum operated, a locking system wasutilized to ensure the lights locked in the \"up\" position when the headlightswere turned on. Flared wheel wells and steel wheels with ten brake coolingslots enhanced the powerful appearance, and a fastback roof line emphasized thefact that this wasn\'t your typical Oldsmobile.
Full-view side windows lacked ventipanes, which were made obsolete by a newdraft-free ventilation system that swept up outside air in volume, circulatedit throughout the passenger compartment, and exhausted it outside through ventsbelow the rear window. All with the windows up, and in total silence.
With a 119 inch wheelbase, a 211 inch overall length, a 78.5 inch width, anda 52.8 inch height, the Toro was impressive, regardless of the angle upon whichit was viewed. Underway, the Toronado\'s 425 cubic inch Super Rocket V-8 engine,mated to a heavy duty Turbo Hydra-Matic drive which was newly designed totransfer power 180 degrees forward by way of a specially-designed Hy-Vo chain.This guaranteed lively performance and put \"excitement ahead, roadbehind\" according to sales literature of the time. Developing 385horsepower, this was Oldsmobile\'s most powerful drive train for 1966. Whencoupled with front wheel drive, the Toronado provided much better handlingunder harsh conditions than its contemporaries.
Due to its front wheel drive configuration, the Toronado had a very spaciousinterior, with a seating capacity of six passengers. Flat floors front and reargave occupants plenty of room to stretch their legs, and the absence of a humprunning down the center of the car gave new owners something to discuss withfriends. Two interior trim levels were offered: the standard Toronado interiorfeatured ribbed vinyl upholstery with bench seats, and can be identified by theshort armrests on the front doors and the single inside door handle to open thedoor. The optional Deluxe interiors included Strato Seats in front whichfeatured a center fold down armrest, full-length door armrests with dual doorhandles that allowed rear passengers to open the doors, a choice of all-vinylor cloth and vinyl upholstery, and the provision of recessed controls for theoptional power windows, seat, and door locks mounted in the front armrests.
The Toronado offered a long list of standard features which included the 425Super Rocket V-8 engine, Turbo Hydra-Matic drive, power steering, power brakes,deep pile carpeting, heater and defroster, ashtrays with individual lighters,padded sun visors, padded instrument panel, back-up lights, interior courtesylights, Guard-Beam frame, drum-type speedometer, and dual-outlet exhaust system.
As one would expect, 1966 was Toronado\'s year in the spotlight, and whilesales would drift in succeeding years, the Toronado stood out from other carswith its revolutionary styling, superior handling characteristics, incomparableinterior spaciousness, and a flow of power that pulled you through cornersinstead of pushing you around them. In fact, about the only thing Toronadoshared with others cars was the road!
