1966 Toyota Corona

When the Toyota Motor Company was first established in 1937, their first car was the Model AA. Toyota's were offered for sales in the United States in 1958 with the arrival of the Toyopet. Several vehicles were built under the Corona nameplate from 1957 through 2002, with at one point a parallel series called Corona Mark II. The 'corona' name is Latin for 'crown,' a reference to an earlier vehicle Toyota offered called the Toyota Crown.

In the United States, the Crown and Land Cruiser had attracted a modest number of American customers. However, it was the Corona that solidified Toyota's presence in the United States, and quickly found many eager and willing buyers. Body styles included a hardtop coupe and sedan, with power from an inline, overhead-valve four-cylinder engine displacing 115.8 cubic-inches. The 90 horsepower was sent via a three-speed manual transmission to the rear wheels. A four-speed and Toyoglide automatic were also available. Hydraulic drums provided the stopping power.

The Corona Sedan was listed at $1,790 while the hardtop coupe had a base price of nearly $2,000.
