Cord built the L-29 fwd American car from 1929 to roughly 1932, with ~4400 cars produced... Definitely the first production American FWD car built in mass production.
Oh and the members of the Toronado Owners Association and Toronado/Aurora Chapter of Oldsmobile Club of America would disagree with you that this is “not a desirable car!” Difficult as hell to restore for sure, but well worth the work!
Learned more about this platform from yur descriptions then most ...VACUME I UNDERSTOOD FOR THE HEADS*UP LIGHTS BUT HAD NO CLUE THE DASH WAS SO DEPENDANT ON THE VACU'UM! LOOKING AT A 69 MODEL...THX FOR SHARRING 10YEARS OF EXPERIENCE WITH US!

Excellent job, brings back memories! I have a 71 chevelle that I’ve owned since 1981 . I’d love to have you guys work your magic on it.
Damn 10 years is crazy!
Yes on & off for about 10 years.
She a beauty! You’ll probably rebuilt it better than from the factory!
@rayscott7655 almost or pretty close!
GTSY GREG..BUTTERFLY STEERING WHEEL LOOKS LIKE DRAG WHEEL OF THE DAY..STAY AWESOME.
Thanks dude 🤙
That's back when cars has class and style.
@@Bud88883 super trash now..
Very well done both in RESTO & narratives!
What a beautiful car. Great job.
Thanks!
it’d be real nice to install the rocket on the front end correctly, aiming up!

3:56 min, the motorhome utilised the FWD system too, didn't it?
Yes. Noticed a few glaring errors in the narrative.
I have a 1966 Toronado that is supposed to be this color if I get it painted. Mine is down to paint and interior.
Beautiful! Did you have the transmission rebuilt?
Yes like 8 years ago when we first started the project

GMC Motor home drive train is in the front, not the rear
Yeah its front wheel drive
Can you recommend a transmission shop for these fwd cars? Thanks-
Fun fact, you cannot make this car fishtail or slide in snow...i had a 67
Such a beautiful car. But in my opinon it would have been a better car as a rear wheel drive.
@Bud88883 Thanks! Yeah, I agree but it was revolutionary
