This picture has a lot of memories, as it is a picture of the prior owner, Mrs. Dorothy Johnson of San Mateo, CA with her Toronado on the day we acquired it. Dorothy had turned 90 that year, and due to onset of dementia was unable to drive. Her nephew was selling the car for her. She always said the car made her feel special, as it was not like other cars on the road. As we drove away, she had tears in her eyes. I promised her we would take good care of her Toronado.

This is a picture of the car on the day we acquired it in January 2008. We flew up to San Francisco and drove the car back to Southern California. While passing through Atascadero (about where the Springhill Suites where West Coast Meet is now held was built), the car started to run out of gas. The engine ran out of gas and died on the offramp, at which time there was a "ding" from the Driver Information Center warning us of "Low Fuel" (!).

When we first acquired "Miss Dorothy", the bumper fillers (front and back) were shot, and the car was only getting about 10-12 mpg on the freeway. Over the years, fixing broken smog equipment has increased fuel efficiency to about 15-16 mpg on the freeway. We also had ABS bumper filler replacements painted to match.

The coved back seats of the Toronado are oh so comfy!
