They have built very few, perhaps a hundred, just to pay homage to the glorious past of the Japanese brand. This bizarre car can be loved or hated, certainly not ignored.
With an illustrious history behind it and a present that couldn’t be brighter – its Corolla is still the best-selling car in the world ever – the Toyota house has never denied its origins. The giant capable of generating revenue of billions of yen every year as well as the “parent company” of brands such as Scion and Lexus continues to be a prominent name on the world automotive market, not only in Asia.
The history of the Toyota company begins in 1933 and the first successful examples of the car date back to shortly before the World War. As we have said, the brand has always made its long life in the automotive world a source of pride but few know that practically yesterday in a historical sense he also created an automobile to pay homage to its history and some American models that inspired its first cars.
Born in 1997, today’s car is very reminiscent of a car from the Prohibition period. No wonder since its line is inspired all’aerodinamica Chrysler Airflow, one of the most innovative and discussed cars in history. Numbers in hand, however, this Toyota could be even rarer than an Airflow and perhaps worth more.
Less than 100 years old!
The Toyota Classic is perhaps the black sheep of the Japanese brand in a purely stylistic sense: in fact, its anachronistic design and the fact that just 100 have been built make the car the rarest and most unknown Toyota in the world to the point that in the West perhaps only the Huge fans of the brand have heard of it.
The classic line of the car that would recall the key cars in which the Japanese specialize were it not for the size and the fact that it has four doors but in reality, most of the mechanical elements of the vehicle are taken on an equal footing by the Toyota pick-up Hilux. Why a 4X4 vehicle been taken into consideration to create a retro car is beyond our understanding: ask Toyota.
In any case, being so rare, this car exerts a certain charm on collectors. Generally speaking, the price of the car on the market is around 40,000 Dollars but the example you see in the photo that has about 24,000 kilometers on the odometer and which will soon go to auction. will easily exceed this figure. After all, we’re talking about a rare car, right?
