guess what i found at the junk yard...

[jeremy]

FWIW: some Toronado's also had cellular phones built into them too...

[stockgp]

oh and i think maybe i missed the lcd screen in the cluster because it didn't have one. since it had the cutty style driver info center right next to the cluster, why would it have anothe info center right in the cluster?

[stockgp]

yeah i saw a pic of one. they are mounted to the underside of the lid for the center console

[ToroToro]

Well, thats really fricken wierd then. Because the 86-89s looked like this.

 

 

The climate controls are above the radio. DIC buttons to the left with the DIC screen in the cluster. Remote cassette and EQ in center console.

 

 

90-92s are the close to the same, just with two rows of buttons for the DIC instead of one. And a slave CD player where the cubby is on mine.

 

I wont insult your intelligence, but are you sure it was a toro? Pics maybe?

 

But yeah, I'll take the head and controller.

[stockgp]

no i'm not sure at all. i'm assuming it was a toro being that it was so similar to the ones i've seen. it even has that same shift lever and the roll-over coin dispenser/cup holder thing. what other oldsmobubble cars came with that center console?

[ToroToro]

I think the T bar shifter was toro only. But when you say "touring" something, and cutty DIC, it makes me think that you might be looking at the 98 based Touring Sedan, because they had a DIC just like the Cutty and seats/console very similar to a Toro. Otherwise you might be looking at an older, 79-85 Toro. I dunno. :?

[stockgp]

79-85 toro wouldn't have had a cd player, though. i don't really remember, but isn't that a little old to have one?

 

and the badges say touring something, that's all i really remember. the u shaped shifter and rotating cup holder/coin storage were def. there. the cd player was right in front of the shifter where the slave tape players were, you know the kind where the tape stood up vertical? the seats were exactly the same as the pic you posted, at least as far as i can tell from what you see in the pic.

 

i also remember the dash being a little different than what's in those two pics. it's kind of hard to explain, but the trim piece that goes around the cluster and dic wrapped around the side of the dic. then the dash was kind of like a shelf over the cluster and dic.

 

i didn't pay much attention to the exterior. all that really caught my eye was the badge on the c pillar.

 

oh and it was a 4 door. toros were only 2 door, right?

[Guest Anonymous]

toronados were a 2 door.

[ToroToro]

Yes it's most likely a Touring Sedan. Still a cool ass car though. I wonder if the DIC is exactly the same as the Cutty's. They sure do look close.

FWIW, check out the console in this toronado:

 

 

Simply orgasmic.

[ToroToro]

Yeah I think that's Zen's car. He's a good friend of mine. That phone still works too haha. He probobly has the cleanest, most original Trofeo in existance.

[stockgp]

i think that's the one i saw on cardomain. it says right o the page that his is probably one of the few3 that are still in service

That is freakin bad ass, i LOVE that shifter, and the cell phones pretty pimp

[Guest Anonymous]

how the hell does he still have it in service? No one accepts an analog phone anymore... and that shifter is THE coolest thing i've ever seen.

[Crazy K]

[stockgp]

for those of you who are curious, here are a few pics of a similar car in gray, not garnet. same interior, though

[Crazy K]

wow. Is that actually the same DIS as the cutty?

[stockgp]

it looks that way in alldata. the ninety eight appears to not have a bcm like the toronado, so it should work in ws. maybe one of these days i'll try it in my car and see what it gives me

[digitaloutsider]

It is NOT the same DIS. The Cutlass FSM states this very explicitly.

[stockgp]

yeah i looked at the wiring diagrams, the pinout s are different, too
