Rchen snapped these photos. On the day of his visit, there was a technical talk about the Toyota Previa. I think we can all agree that every one of us could spend days there.
Third photo down, of the nose of a light coloured Crown. I owned a Crown like that, when I was poor. Bought it for $800 from a friend, who insisted I called it "Limo" like he did. Two years of loyal service later, I sold it to another impoverished friend for $800, and he agreed to call it "Limo". It wasn't so much ownership as custodianship. Solid car.
Why do I want that Previa so badly?
ReplyDelete@Tim: Rchen heard at the tech talk that the only Toyota that lasted longer than the Previa was the LS400. Durability, FTW.

ReplyDeleteProbably because it is mid-engined?!
I want the scale model cars.

ReplyDelete@F1O: I thought I had a post about those 1:5 scale cars. I'll do it tomorrow.
ReplyDelete@Ozmac: That is a funky looking Crown. Do you have any pictures of it when you owned it?
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking of a Toyota Crown ad retrospective/compilation.
The perfect museum.
ReplyDeleteI must say the visit left me really wanting a Previa All-Trac, preferably without the used-up supercharger with screaming bearings.
ReplyDeleteHundreds (literally!) more photos here. Enjoy!
@rchen: Thanks for sharing. The museum photos were a big hit!
ReplyDeleteI never realized that I find this many Toyotas interesting. Love the front end on that mk4 Crown.
