Funky 1980s Automotive Interiors! The 1989 Oldsmobile Toronado Trofeo Had Buttons Galore

Sometimes, I come here to take a break from the insanity of this world, nowadays.

One of my late uncles who was born in 1919 owned several great cars throughout his 100 years of life. His absolute favorite was a gold ‘88 Toronado. He liked the size, the features, and loved the 3800 V-6. He owned it for 20 years and over 200k miles.

I love those late 80s early 90s electronic dashboards

The VIC was ahead of its time. Standard equipment on many cars 30 years later.

a friend of mine just bought a 1989 Olds Trofeo...with ONLY 1,300 miles on it...yes one thousand three hundred miles....showroom car condition...so awesome

That " was" my father's Oldsmobile. 😉

Dad and I had one of these as a rental on a trip up highway1 and liked it so much Dad bought one. The dash was amazing!

I remember as a young kid sitting in a Trofeo at my local auto show around 1987-1988 and being absolutely fascinated with the VIC, as well as the GCC in the Buick Riveria of the same period. Funny because even the most basic economy car now has a touchscreen.

This has to be one of the earliest cars to have a touch screen. For the 1980s, it's way ahead of its time.

I had a 1988 Olds. Toronado Trofeo. Loved it.

Owned both an '88 and '92 Trofeos. Great cars for the time and lots of fun to drive.

Drove one as a rental. That dash was a gadget lover's dream!

I thought I was the only one who liked this car…I am not alone…

It's great that they brought hidden headlamps back for the final years of the Toro. Always a cool look that's sadly missing today.

Love the "horseshoe" shifter!

My dad had a 86 Toronado and i had a 90 Trofeo. I loved that car. It finally gave up at 247000 miles. Engine was still good but everything else was worn out.

I bought my wife a near mint 92 Trofeo for $3500 aug 2011. It was black which to me was the best color for that car. The previous owner hit a curb hard and bent the engine cradle slightly and destroyed the one rim. i found an engine cradle for 150$ at a junkyard and a used rim to match for 50$. THe car sat in a garage for a couple years after he damaged it and it only had 79k miles. It drove perfect even with the bent cradle but would wear out the left front tire prematurely. I had to replace the brake lines when one blew on the drive home from buying it. I went ahead and did all the brakes anyway the day after we bought it. i swapped the cradle 6 months later and she drove that car for almost 4 years. It drove so smooth and had a mint leather interior. The 3800 V6 was a great engine that had plenty of pep and never gave us any trouble besides minor stuff like a coil and a water fitting under the intake which i fixed easily. She LOVED that car more than any other car she had prior. We sold it when i had a hard time finding parts like a motor mount. I had to make a motor mount out of a carriage bolt and some fabbed steel. She still misses that car. We sold it to a toronado collector who had every generation. i almost bought her another one about 5 years ago but again parts are hard to come by. It had a mono leaf rear suspension and stainless exhaust which was original. The car had no rust and was well built. Best 3500$ car ever. They were over 30k new in 92.

I liked it's looks then and I like it now.

had a 91 trofeo, these cars were so ahead of their time, now everyone thinks screens are in, we had it way back then...

That illustration at the end was gorgeously done!
