Automotive Archaeology: Toyota's amazing 75th Anniversary website

 

While trawling the internet for information on classic Toyota's, I stumbled upon what could possibly be one of the greatest automotive websites ever, the 75 years of Toyota official website.

 

 

For example, here is a screenshot of a Toyota Corolla Coupe. There are tabs that show vehicle specifications, description, the manufacturing plant they were built at and even the meaning of the vehicles name. Even better still, almost every single model represented in this database also carries a fully readable sales catalog, including every model variant, color combination and even factory approved dealer options!

 

 

Here's the "Sports Package" options for the Toyota Levin 1600GT Apex (more popularly known as the AE86). I wonder how many cars were actually optioned with these parts from the factory?

 

I would like to thank Toyota Japan for making this content available to everyone. Without manufacturers keeping a database of all their vehicles that were sold over many generations, this information and history could be lost forever.
