I bought this low mileage 1966 Toronado about 3 weeks ago. It will be a daily driver alongside my 1956 Cadillac Coupe DeVille and 1979 F100.
I'm familiar with Fusick and USA Parts.
Basically I'm looking for things like floor mats and miscellaneous model-specific parts. The Z shaped trim on the arm rests, for example.
Someone replaced the wiper blades with ugly plastic refills. Metal ones from Fusick are $36 each and $25 from USA. Backup light lenses are also pretty pricey from these two.
I'm used to getting raped purchasing parts for the Cadillac but I figured the Olds might be a little better. Do the blades interchange with anything else that might cost less?
I tried to post photos but none of them took. I reduced the size of them as well but they still failed to post. Oh well.

Re: Looking For Parts and Accessories Sources For 1966 Toron
Shrunk 'em further and Voila! Here they are.
The color is called Dubonnet. It's the color of the Toronado used in the '66 sales brochure.

It was 70 last weekend. I figured I'd drink some beer and wax the sucker.

Re: Looking For Parts and Accessories Sources For 1966 Toron
You will find that there are few reproduction parts for these Toronados and you've already touched on the main suppliers. I'm not sure about the wipers/interchange. I would think other GM "E" body cars might interchange. You're back to Cadillac or possibly Buick. You have great taste in cars!

Yes it is! How did you know?
Re: Looking For Parts and Accessories Sources For 1966 Toron
I own it at one point, and have been watching its history, one dead giveaway is the trunk crease among other things see photos.
Feel free to give me a call some time I'll tell you what I know .. 303-809-1928
I'm happy to see it again.

Re: Looking For Parts and Accessories Sources For 1966 Toron
That's really cool. What time zone are you in so I don't call too late or too early? I'll try to call you this week.
I've only had it 3 weeks and I'm enjoying it a lot. I drove it on a 250 mile round trip yesterday and it runs smooth as silk. Not as comfortable or economical as the '56 Cadillac but I'm not complaining.

Re: Looking For Parts and Accessories Sources For 1966 Toron
Nice looking car Otto!
EBay is a good source for parts as long as you know exactly what you are looking for. I did a quick search for Trico wipers and came up with a list of over 400 items from blades to arms so you should find what you want. I bought refills for my 67 off Amazon at a reasonable price. Good luck!
