History is an inseparable part of the Oldsmobile tradition.
The 1966 Toronado was the first big-ass, tire-smokin' front-wheel drive. Yes, I know there was the Cord back in the 30s, but they tore up so often, it was hard to go on a long trip.
The vast majority of cars on the road today are front-wheel drive. They owe everything to the first successful front-wheel-drive luxury hotrod...the Toronado!
