I wish I had kept my '70 Torino. It was a 4-door and didn't have the hood scoop thing. Is that a scoop or an intake?

It also had the power operated "breezeway" window to let all the noxious exhaust gases into the cabin.
I did not know there was such a thing as a Torino station wagon. I think that's just a decorative hood "scoop". I had one on my 1969 mustang (which was about the color of this Torino), and it was a scoop to no where.I wish I had kept my '70 Torino. It was a 4-door and didn't have the hood scoop thing.

Ahh, the Olds $#!% fire and the Olds #@@& fire!The old Oldsmobiles used *** fire for a lot of models.

Gee, wonder why that feature didn't catch on?
That looks like a Valiant body style but in a coupe?? What is that exactly??I grew up around racing and during the golden age of muscles cars. Yet, now that I'm an old boomer, I can see myself tooling around in one of these.
Pretty cool isn't it? 1962 2dr Valiant.That looks like a Valiant body style but in a coupe?? What is that exactly??
The really noxious gases are the ones you can't smell.That window at the back seat was so amazing. People sitting back there loved it. I don't remember any noxious gasses coming in. I picked up a guy hitchhiking through Topanga Canyon one time and he sat back there (front seat was full) and he was super stoned and he was just dumbfounded with that window!!
Concept car, designed by Virgil Exner of "Bullet-nose" Studebaker Starlight fame, built by Ghia in one of the more entertaining marriages of the '50's.I've never seen a Dodge Firearrow and I like what I see.
As noted previously , it was the "aviation influence" period, when air travel was really starting to take off and automakers wanted folks to identify the cars with the latest cutting edge tech and speed, especially as the "jet age" dawned.The old Oldsmobiles used *** fire for a lot of models. Starfire, Jetfire, etc.
Well, no wonder I'm so weird, huh???The really noxious gases are the ones you can't smell.
Technical term is intake or even "breather", "scoop" is slang. Also Suspect that's a "show car" or modified, since those scoops usually went with hi-performance engines. Ford did actually make a few hot-rod wagons in regular production though, generally customer orders, so it might be "as built".I wish I had kept my '70 Torino.

Didn't the Torino come with a 351 or 429?scoops usually went with hi-performance engines
In '70 the standard engine was a 250 I-6, then the 302. 302's were actually standard on Squires (wagons), but wouldn't have warranted a scoop. Had to go to a "Torino 500" trim level with a 351 for that, and it turns out that package was available as a wagon. So that's likely what that is.Didn't the Torino come with a 351 or 429?
