You need to have the first model year with these. I like the Eldorado better personally.

Thanks much, but no thanks Matt,lol. The front end on this year absolutely wrecks it for me, reminds me of a....big, charging Rhinoceros or something along those lines. As always someone came along and perverts the original design theme. Clumsy. IMHO.

68' El Dorado. Different vibe than the Toro, but still nice.

My brother had a green one like that.

I wish I would have been able to keep it, but I sold it for his wife when he passed away. (28 years ago last week geez...)

I had an '01 Eldo. Nice car but at 100k miles, it got expensive and it got traded in.

That car has beautiful lines. I love it.

Yes it does indeed. Anybody know who the designer is/was? Bill Mitchell?

No pleasing you

No pleasing you

there are many ways to please me

I don't know why but I love this air cleaner housing on the '66

 

[detmatt]

Because they put a little effort into it!

 

[tallhair]

I will concur that the 66 is by far the best of those toro's

It was a time when Design Departments had the freedom and the budget to put detail into every little nuance of car design.
WITH REAL METAL. No plastics. A glorious era.
Now: Pfftttttt...

This never fails to blow me away. The use of three dimensional depth and convergance is unbelievable.
