1966 Olds Toronado
This 1966 Oldsmobile has a lot of meaning for the Heritage Center. This Toronado model was the first mass-produced American front-wheel-drive car (the 1937 Cord with FWD had a limited production run). Powered by a muscular transversally placed V8, its powertrain was called the Unitized Power Package (UPP), a unit so reliable that it was even used in a big GMC motorhome in the 1990s.
