If you are going to drive something crazy, it should be really crazy. If you want to celebrate Corona beer, don’t just drive a car with a Corona bumper sticker or a Corona air freshener…or even a complete Corona vinyl wrap. That’s not nutty enough. You need to go completely off the reservation and drive […]
You asked and we delivered. It’s in our DNA. Okay, I lied. Nobody asked for this next thing, but it IS something we all need. Maybe not for the reasons you might expect, but because just about everywhere in the world has some kind of requirement to wear a face mask and you all have […]
I’ve been getting my inbox bombarded with notes from random faceless corporations telling me they’ve got a plan for this COVID-19 thing…so I feel like DT should make some official statement to the affect that we are canceling our Cars & Coughy meetings and minimizing co-sleeping in the office. Yes. Official and authoritative…we are asking […]
Happy Pi Day! With all of the corona virus related pandemonium running through the public eye, I wonder if it’ll spill over into cars — with the classic Toyota Corona be shunned because it shares a first name with the nasty crown shaped virus that seems to be performing the job of a crappy version […]
I’d always rather buy a nicely restored or original condition survivor than a car that has had a cheap respray or is a pile of parts…but this next car appears to be a running/driving example of an unusual classic that just needs a paint job and some TLC. How bad could it be? Find this 1967 […]
This next car comes as a tip from Matt C who writes: Here’s another oddball Japanese survivor. Looks like the engine is some sort of 22R relative, backed by a manual transmission. So these things ought to run until the body rusts apart – and in Georgia, even that takes a pretty long time. Interior is […]
The Toyota Corona was the bottom of the line for Toyota’s North American lineup until 1969 when the Corolla was introduced. That doesn’t mean that the Corona is a bad car, just that it was a compact and not equipped with a bunch of power options…but for a Japanese classic this isn’t bad because it […]
The fifth generation Toyota Corona (T100/110/120) was built from 1973 through 1979 and solidified Toyota’s reputation for making reliable sedans. However, Toyota made a 2-door hardtop coupe version of the little econobox that was the crown jewel of the lineup. Find this 1974 Toyota Corona Coupe RT114 offered for $3,000 in Long Beach, CA via […]
A few weeks ago I wrote a story about a Corona 2-door hardtop and mentioned that you don’t see many of the 2-door versions for sale (for whatever reason), naturally this means the DT inbox would be flooded with the exact car that I claimed was rarely seen. Find this 1969 Toyota Corona here on […]
Back in 1970, the North American Toyota lineup was a filled with cars starting with the letter C — the subcompact Corolla, the compact Corona, and slightly larger mid-sized Corona Mark II, and finally the full-sized Crown….which can all be a bit confusing. Find this 1970 Toyota Corona Mark II Wagon offered for $5,500 in […]
