My First Toyota....

'Our' first Toyota was a '72 Corona, bought new in '72. Went 120,000 miles before being traded...for a Merc Zephyr...UGH! Last ford in the family... all Toyotas after that!

MINE was a 1974 Corolla 1200. Bought it brand new my senior year in High School, after saving 2 summers worth of wages. Paid for the car cash, paid the insurance and had enough left over for a tank of gas...and a 'baggie'...

Then had a '72 Corona MKII, but had a Volvo 1800ES in between...Google it!

Heh, I thought that *I* knew everything, as a youth, so when I got my first vehicle, a 57 Pontiac Laurentian, in 1964, I neglected to change out the summer 30 weight oil. Come winter, in had to be pushed to start MANY times, due to the high viscosity of the oil.

Laurentian? We didn't have one of those here in the US.

They eventually 'brought down' the Parisienne as a Wagon, IIRC.

I saw an Acadian at a car show the other day (Canadian Chevy Nova equvalent) I was impressed. Also a 2CV and a turbocharged 64 Corvair.

My first Toyota was a 72 Carina I bought from my dad in 1977 for 532 dollars so he could buy his 77 Corolla, the last car he would ever buy. The last plate on it expired the same month he did, November of 1999.
