Description

Toyota debuted the 3rd generation Crown in 1967, with the aim of expanding its share in the luxury car market. Until then, the Crown had a strong image of being a corporate vehicle, with few private owners. To dispel this, Toyota started promoting the Crown in a white shade that was popular among private cars. This helped the public to view the Crown as a personal vehicle and gained the support of car fans due to its dignified body design.

Naturally, the 3rd generation Crown is also full of innovative enhancements to its driving performance. At this time, the development of highways was progressing rapidly and there was a growing demand for cars that could withstand high-speed long-distance driving. To deal with this, Toyota introduced the perimeter frame, which improved collision resistance and expanded the living space. In addition, the body was connected to the frame via 16 rubbers, cutting the vibration down and improving ride quality significantly.

This particular vehicle is a Super Deluxe model, equipped with an MD type 6-cylinder engine that produces a maximum output of 110 horsepower. The exterior is Mizurina Green, which is distinctly American in appearance. The interior is also maintained in its original condition.

This vehicle has spent many years in storage indoors and no longer runs. It has been deregistered so the mileage is unknown. The interior and exterior have deteriorated over time but with some modifications, it will regain its brilliance.
