'Two-Face' 1967 Oldsmobile Toronado by Precision Restorations


Suppose you owned a classic car restoration business and wanted to show potential customers what you could do for them. How would you go about it? Well, Precision Restorations of St. Louis, Missouri have ingeniously answered this question by restoring exactly half a 1967 Oldsmobile Toronado.

Olds Starfire, those tailfins under the bumper are one of a kind, named "Skegs" not unlike Dagmars as an unusual name for a car part


I had to guess at the manufacturer, until I noticed the oval gauges under the speedometer



Cool looking design, and good looking paint... nice all around

I looked to see what I had posted about this model Olds, and found that it's a Starfire, and the fins under the bumper are called Skegs: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/03/trivia.html

First cruise of the season in Escondido


Above is one of the side streets, not the main drag. Below is the duece donation grill

Tweety bird mudflaps.. yikes.

great shifter, it's in a 50's Dodge Sierra












Great centerpiece design and dash piece over the glove box. The dual ashtrays are not unique, a few cars had them, but the clock between and the radio above turned out really well
Instantly recognizeable tail light, I like that about older cars from the 60's
