Vehicle History: This car was purchased new from Bob Burg Olds/Cadillac by my Grandma as a birthday present to herself. It was driven from the MI factory to the WI dealership when it was new. Gram drove it for a few years and then parked it because it was too big for her. It's been sitting for 6 or 7 years, but still ran nice when it was started in 2005 and 2006. The brakes went out on it and it has a small fuel leak. I took off the lt blue vinyl roof and plan on restoring it.
Other Comments: The Toronado was the largest car GM built in '77 and '78. The hood alone is 6', the entire car is 19'. They were only available as 2-door coupes. '78 was the last year for the '71 vintage style Toros and the last year they were made in Lansing, MI.
