In 1937 the Toyota Motor Company was established and introduced its first car, the Model AA, that same year. Toyota's were offered for sale in the United States in 1958 with the arrival of the Toyopet. Toyota manufactured several series of cars under the Corona nameplate from 1957 through 2002 with at one point a parallel series called Corona Mark II. There were six Corona body styles in 1968; 2-door hardtop coupe, 2-door pickup and another with an extended cab, 3-door station wagon, 4-door sedan, and 5-door hatchback. The Corona was paired with either the 'toyoglide' two-speed automatic or three- and later four-speed manual transmission.
This vehicle is an original 1968 Corona Coupe that belongs to the Generation 3 T40/T50 series that ran from 1964 through 1969. It's a California black plate car with just 26,000 miles sold new in Daly City, not far from San Francisco's airport. It was discovered tucked away in a San Francisco garage in 2007. It is powered by the 3-RC 1900cc motor and the optional 2-speed Toyoglide automatic transmission. It wears its original finishes throughout. The original seller of the car is believed to be Daly City Toyota Motors.
The car has its original factory tool kit and jack, and the factory spare wheel and cover.
In 2007, the car was purchased by Martin Swig. Minor servicing soon followed, including a rebuilt carburetor and various other times. The paintwork was refreshed.
In 2008, the car was shown at the Carmel Concours-on-the-Avenue followed by the Palo Alto Concours d'Elegance in 2011.
