History: 
The Oldsmobile Toronado is 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 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 unusual Toronado powertrain called the Unitized Power Package (UPP), developed by Oldsmobile, stuffed a Rocket V8 and transmission into an engine bay no larger than one for a conventional rear-wheel drive car. During its seven-year development, UPP components were driven over 1.5 million test miles to verify their strength and reliability. They proved so well-built the UPP was employed basically unchanged in the 1970s GMC motorhome. 

At its debut, the Toronado featured such GM innovations as: 

  • Heavy-duty Turbo-Hydramatic 400 three-speed automatic transmission (named THM425 in FWD form) 
  • Rochester Quadrajet four-barrel carburetor 
  • Spherical shaped exhaust-manifold flange gaskets, which provided freedom of movement in the exhaust system and prevented leaks 
  • "Draft-Free" ventilation system, which reduced wind noise considerably by eliminating conventional front-door triangular window vents. 
Only 2,351 Toronados were produced for the 1970 model year.
