Engineered for excitement… Toronado-style! (1967)
Next to mink, Toronado is the most exciting animal around. (Who says it’s a man’s world?)
The nicest thing outside of a mink is the inside of a Toronado. Mark how Toronado doors open wide to let you glide in and out easily, even in the frilliest of frocks. Flat floors, front and rear, let you sit in the center like a lady.
Now take the wheel. Toronado’s front-wheel-drive negotiates tight turns, deep snow and rugged terrain effortlessly. And makes pulling into a parking place as easy as a kid gove.
Would you say Toronado is a man’s kind of car? Indeed. The kind of car a man buys for his kind of girl!

’68 Front-Wheel-Drive Toronado by Oldsmobile
There’s nothing average about it, including the man who drives it
Frankly, Toronado is not for the average man. It is a different kind of car far a different kind of man. Different styling: brawny, and broad-shouldered, massively male.
Different handling: front-wheel drive tracks better on curves, grips better on snow and slick.
Different ride: different from ordinary cars. In Toronado, you command the road; it doesn’t dictate to you. You drive the car; it doesn’t drive you.
Is Toronado your kind of car? Only if you are its kind of man. Test drive one. That’s the only way you’ll find out. / GM – Oldsmobile
1968 Toronado: The all-car car for the all-man man
The line of demarcation is drawn. Men on one side, boys on the other. Cars fall into place.
No question which side Toronado takes. Not with that brawny, broad-shouldered look. And that responsive performance from a 455-cubic inch Rocket V-8, biggest ever built. And that masterful ride and handling.
