Oldsmobile Toronado - Full color 10" x 13 1/2" ad for the 1966 Oldsmobile Toronado. This ad starts out by saying, "Only From Olds a car like this!" over a beautiful drawing of a Red Toronado sitting there, posing like it had nothing better to do. The ad text claims that "Only Toronado looks this new! Low-slung nose. Fastback fuselage. Concealed headlamps. Massive wheels with 10" cutouts to help cool brakes. And full-view side windows, a functional feature of Toronado's unique draft-free ventilation. Only Toronado rides this new! Smart setting for your solo in America's mist distinctive car. Roomy, easy-to-enter interiors, flat floots carry six in solid comfort. And Toronado's luxurious, sporty seats beg you to buckle up and begone. Only Toronado drives this new! 385-hp V-8 engine feeds power to front wheels via Turbo Hydra-Matic. Toronado pulls (rather than pushes) you through tight turns. Improves traction, increases road stability. And vibration is almost obsolete". There are three other views of this car. First, we have a view from the passenger's side from the rear, a view of the seats through the passenger's side window and a drawing of the car, highlighting the engine saying that "Another first from Oldsmobile! Toronado, only full-size car with front wheel drive. Engine, transmission, differential and steering are all up front...to put the traction where the action is".

Next to this car is a serious looking matador; the man with a cape, not the AMC car, holding his red cape out for any bulls that may be wandering by. The headline says "After you've walked off with all the honors, what do you do for an encore" Meet Olds Toronado - '67 edition". The text mentions general changes that were made in this car.

1968
Oldsmobile Toronado - Full color 9 1/2" x 13 1/2" ad for the car that, is felt, "Seperates the men from the boys". In this ad we see a man with bushy eybrows leaning casually on the passenger side of a Green Toronado and the text tries to explain the difference between "boy-type cars" and "man-type cars". These advertising people seem to think that the Styling, the Handling and the 455-cubic-inch V-8 that this Toronado possesses are what makes the difference.
