Oldsmobile Toronado (276)


$45.99

The Oldsmobile Toronado, a luxurious American muscle car renowned for its V8-powered front wheel drive, was an irresistible subject for Corgi, who initially released it in 1967 as Corgi 264. This was only a year after the actual car was launched, Corgi keen to make inroads into the American market by building a collection that appealled to those on both sides of the Atlantic.

In 1968 Corgi updated the tooling to allow for the fitting of ‘Golden Jacks’ take-off wheels, giving it a new number, Corgi 276. Both versions featured ‘remote control swivelling’ jewelled headlights, which ‘popped up’ when a small thumb wheel beneath the base was turned. Utilising its tow-hook, Corgi 276 was also available as part of Gift Set 36, hitched to an accompanying trailer and speedboat.
