1987 Oldsmobile Toronado Coupe
1987 Oldsmobile Toronado BROUGHAM
-The fourth generation Toronado introduced in 1986, was made in Lansing Michigan, and paid homage to the Tornados from the 60’s with its high-tech styling and front wheel drive. The Toronado was the flagship luxury coupe for Oldsmobile. Objectively speaking, it offered better performance, increased fuel economy, better aerodynamics, and greater space efficiency than its predecessor. Contemporary, understated styling, with enough trunk room for two sets of golf clubs. The Toronado was a car with enough prestige to fit right in at the country club, yet not so much that it wouldn’t look out of place at a hardware store.
-Exterior-
-Oldsmobile’s E-body coupe featured a flush black grille, and flip-up concealed headlights for a full-width effect. Mostly black or body colored trim, with thin chrome found throughout. Aerodynamic ground effects and full-width taillight lenses give it a sleek low look. Power Antenna on the rear is a nice touch. Door hinges are tight, and the door/hood/trunk gaps all look exceptional. This body style with the short trunk was only offered for three years 86-89.
-Paint-
-8979 medium garnet red metallic is the iconic color for this car, as seen on many of the era advertisements. For its age the original paint has weathered very well, there is some light scratching from years of hand washing and waxing. These could be removed with a professional wool buff job. I would like to note minor paint chips. Pictures included in the gallery of the door edges, door handles, front fender tops, and one small dent above the driver’s door handle. The front fenders, rear quarters and hood have been sanded and re-painted due to the clear-coat pealing and fading.
-Carfax will report an accident in 2015. This was a minor rear impact that damaged the bumper.The bumper cover and molding were replaced with originals sourced from a salvage yard. Only one energy absorbing bumper mount needed to be replaced.The inside of both rear quarter panels will attest to this, as they are unworked original paint.

Red is notorious for fading. Original floor mats too. The only flaw on the interior would be a ¾”long rip on the bottom face of the rear seat. You can see it in the gallery noted with red tape.
