Oldsmobile Toronado Trofeo | Channel Introduction

I just bought a 1988 Oldsmobile Toronado Trofeo off Ebay with the intent to repair and restore it to as original condition as I could. For those of you unfamiliar with a Trofeo, they were a model of Toronado from 1988 to 1992, when Oldsmobile tried to position the car as a Drivers Car to rival European Imports. Now it's a time capsule of 80's technology and style. Why am I doing this? Well, I grew up a car guy in Southern California.. but the cars I grew up with were Toyotas, Hondas, Mitsubishi's and Datsuns - so a General Motors car from the 80's is pretty exotic to me (and to my neighbors, who keep asking my why I bought it and what I'm doing with it). I'm fascinated by this whole era of cars I didn't pay attention to in the 80's, and find them to be a great representation of American auto taste from the era. For me, it's like going back in time and experiencing a different time in American Auto History.
