- THE CAR OFFERED
This 1967 Corona 1900 Deluxe originally hails from Huntington West Virginia, where it was sold new by Rich Toyota. What makes this car particularly special is that it was the very first car sold by the fledgling Toyota dealership. When the first owner traded it back a few years later, the dealer principle, Mr. Chris Wallace, jumped at the chance to keep the car and display it in his showroom, and it stayed there until the late 1990s/early 2000s when the dealership was sold and renamed Advantage Toyota.
Mr. Wallace took the Corona with him when he retired, ultimately parking it on the roadside with a
For Sale
sign in the window. It was subsequently acquired by the owner of an Ashland, Kentucky-based new car dealer, and displayed in his large and eclectic museum (alongside saltwater aquariums, vintage Barbies, exotic taxidermy, antique firearms and more). Following an unfortunate encounter with the IRS, his collection was dispersed, and the Toyota Corona passed through the hands of other collectors who, thankfully, recognized its rarity and exceptionally original condition – including the consignor. Through the years, this rare Corona Deluxe has been wonderfully preserved, down to its rare original tool kit, and it survives as a delightful display of Toyota's enduring legacy of quality.
