The luxurious Oldsmobile Toronado was ready for the showroom floor in 1966, and last appeared in 1992. It was an early front-wheel-drive vehicle and was a platform for other innovative designs from the UPP (unitized power package) engine compartment usage model to handling characteristics and the "slot machine" style speedo, which moved a numbered drum rather than the indicator needle. Engines varied from an initial 425 cubic inch to larger ones rated up to 400 horsepower, then down as government requirements put pressure on fuel economy, with 185 horsepower the norm in 1977.
