In celebration of post #455......

I fondly remember my first car....my 1970 Oldsmobile Toronado GT

Ever have a ROCKET in your POCKET?

455cid / 4bbl carb / Dual Exhaust - 8-Track in-dash, baby......

Good stylin' car, threebutchers........my uncle had two Toronado's, a '67 and a '70 back in the day. Can't beat the 8 tracks, or at least you couldn't back then since it was the only thing around then.

My father had (2) 1967s, 1970, 1974...I bought his 1970 and had a 1969 for a short while. Most motorhomes today get better gas mileage!

The 67 was my favorite. I agree, some motorhomes would get a lot better gas mileage than those 455 Ultra High Compression Rocket V8's.....but they could get up and go.

now I'm all nostalgic....this is me with my fathers metallic blue 1967 (circa 1970)


and after his 1970, 1974 Toros....he got nostalgic and bought this sweet white 1967 (circa 1979). That's my hippie self borrowing it for my Senior Prom in 1980....

We never had an Olds but we had a Caddy Eldorado with all the goodies at one time. It was fond of lots of premium gas. It was the same platform as the Toronado with a bigger engine.
