Wasn't there a commercial for a Toronado or maybe a Eldorado that was towing a housetrailer with the back wheels of the car missing ? By some strange way the hitch and the tongue of the trailer were level. It was showing the front wheel drive capabilities. It was ahead of its time in that regard.
Ah the Toronado. My step dad had a '78 Toronado very much like this one below (but better condition). I use to take it and joy ride it when I was 14 (1983). Eventually I got carried away and totalled it (1984). To this day I miss that car. (btw notice the "third brake lights" way ahead of its time?)
The mid 80's Toronado/Eldorado we absolutely beautiful cars.
Wow - nice car! It's amazing how they basically sat a Toronado body onto the chassis of a Corvette. For a few moments, just looking at the pictures, I kept wondering what engine that was - and how they managed to set it that far back against the firewall. It's certainly not just a modified version of the 425 Olds engine that came in that car.
The old boat-tailed Rivs were a thing of beauty too, had great lines, so did the early Monte Carlos.
