Introduced for 1966, Oldsmobile's bold Toronado gained immediate fame as America's first front-wheel drive automobile produced since the Cord 810/812 of 1936-37. Power was delivered by Oldsmobile's biggest V-8 engine, displacing 425 cubic inches and delivering 385 factory-rated horsepower, paired with an innovative FWD drivetrain, including a Turbo-Hydramatic automatic transmission. Styling was, and remains unmistakable, with main Toronado design cues including a low and wide presence, blade-style front fenders, a long hood/short deck hardtop profile, pop-up headlamps, and a Kamm-style rear treatment. A true design and engineering masterpiece, the Toronado earned Motor Trend magazine's Car of the Year honors for 1966. True to plan, the Toronado was a strong seller that year, with 40,963 leaving Oldsmobile dealer showrooms.
