Toyota concept vehicles (1935–1969)

[3] Styling was similar to Italian show cars of the time, with slim pillars and a light roof.

The 1500 cc engine used a pair of SU carburettors and was connected to a 4-speed, all synchronised manual gearbox.

The Corona Sports Coupe was a concept car by Toyota shown at the 1963 Tokyo Motor Show.

Unlike other Toyota models of the time, horizontal rear indicators were used as part of the emerging trend in car design.

[3] Features included a hydraulically operated folding soft top and electric windows.

The 1897 cc 3R engine had dual SU carburetors fitted, raising the power to 100 PS (74 kW).

The top half was completely formed from transparent panels, including the roof, and featured seats that faced each other.

It was a scale model displayed on a stand, meant to show a cutting edge design, featuring a center fin that crosses over a mostly glass canopy, and futuristically-styled headlights.

After the initial public display at the Tokyo Motor Show, it was displayed at a Japanese Automobile Manufacturers Association (JAMA) sponsored event in the mid-to-late 60's, but the concept car and the vehicle's manufacturer documentation has been allegedly lost as early as the 1970s.

A roof mounted spoiler was raised and lowered electrically to increase stability at high speed.

The interior was ergonomically designed with a wrap around console so that all switches were within easy reach of the driver.

Twin exhausts and bonnet scoops hinted at an engine larger than normally used on Japanese cars.

The EX-II was a 2-seater, fully enclosed electric runabout shown at the 1969 Tokyo Motor Show.

[4] The larger body was even more aerodynamic, being built very low with a pointed front (no bumper), a long bonnet, sharply sloped sides and a tapered rear.
