Oldsmobile Toronado Collection of Apparel and Accessories by Legend Lines
The Oldsmobile Toronado was a personal luxury car manufactured and marketed by the Oldsmobile division of General Motors from 1966 to 1992 over four generations. The Toronado was noted for its transaxle version of GM's Turbo-Hydramatic transmission, making it the first U.S.-produced front-wheel drive automobile since the demise of the Cord 810/812 in 1937. Sharing the GM E platform introduced by the rear-wheel drive Buick Riviera in 1963 and adopted for the front-wheel drive 1967 Cadillac Eldorado, the three models shared the E platform for most of the Toronado's 26-year history. The name "Toronado" had no prior meaning and was originally selected for a 1963 Chevrolet show car. The Toronado began as a design painting by Oldsmobile stylist David North in 1962. A few weeks after the design was finished, however, Oldsmobile division was informed it would be permitted to build a personal car for the 1966 model year, and North's design was selected.
