The 1975 Toyota Crown was one of the models that presented Toyota in a broader spectrum of luxury coupled with performance and durability. The Crown appeared in the market with a new S50 series, and together with the sedan version, the company also offered the station wagon variant; the car was aimed at a higher class than that of the majority of models from Toyota’s lineup.
The 1975 Crown resembled a luxury cruiser with its imposing size, classic two-box design, luxurious interior and very comfortable ride characteristics for the time. The Crown came equipped with a 2.6L or 2.8L inline-6 engine and offered good performance, longevity and fuel economy as Toyota’s reputation demanded. It was either available with a four-speed manual transmission or a three-speed automatic transmission. The first generation Toyota Crown was praised for their smooth ride, which is why it was preferred by customers as a more premium mid-sized car.
