The Toyota Land Cruiser had a long and venerable history. Originally designed for military use, they arrived in the US for civilian-consumption in 1960 and became favorites for off-roading enthusiasts.

The 1961 Land Cruiser had a 237.3 cubic-inch 6-cylinder 135 horsepower engine with a three-speed transmission. These multi-purpose vehicles offered short and long base vehicles with rear seats that folded for more cargo space. They had superb driving stability, powerful brakes and sturdy axles.

'Power-economy-durability' was the advertising slogan in 1961. Between 1961 and 1965 the Land Cruiser was the best selling Toyota model in the United States.
