One of a Kind: 1980 Oldsmobile Toronado XSC

FWD Luxury Muscle: 1966 Oldsmobile Toronado

The pictures in the ad for this 1966 Oldsmobile Toronado look pretty respectable from the driver side but the picture from the passenger side shows the car sunk down in the mud of the field. That is not a… more»

63,000 Mile 1977 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme
