The first generation Toyota Corolla, born in 1966, was a car created as a reed for the masses; it evolved into the second generation in 1970, but the basic idea was a normal evolution as a popular car that inherited the concept of the first generation. The car that lacked interest was dramatically changed with the introduction of the coupe-bodied TE27 "Corolla Levin/Sprinter Treno" in 1972. The following is an introduction to the owner of this Sprinter Treno and his car's specifications.

I fell in love at first sight with the car that actor Jackie Chan drove in the movie "Cannonball 2" when I was in middle school. When he learned that it was a Mitsubishi Stallion, he fell in love with it. He also happened to be watching the TV drama "Gorilla: The Eighth Squad of the Metropolitan Police Department Investigation," in which a blister-fender Stallion appeared. I have grown up always wanting to drive this car someday," said Katsuki Miyahara, a resident of Hiroshima Prefecture, as we present the story of him and his Stallion.

On July 28, 2012, I checked out a vehicle of interest at the Kanazawa Classic Car Meeting held at the Japan Automobile Museum in Komatsu City, Ishikawa Prefecture. This time, we found a beautiful second-generation Toyota TE47 "Sprinter Trueno," which is rarely seen even at old car events, so we talked to the owner. It seems that maintaining this rare model is very difficult?

In the 1970s, the BRE was a Japanese car that competed in SCCA production races, and the “Raku Sho Accounting” team has created this model out of respect for the Nissan 510 “Bluebird” that accomplished such a great feat. He has reproduced realistically the paint and sponsor decals from the time when the car was active in the races, and has added originality in some places to enjoy tuning his beloved car.

The "Sera" was launched by Toyota at the end of the bubble era, and although it was a mass-market car, it had glass-top butterfly doors ("gull wing" in the official catalog of the time) like a supercar. It was a model that radiated a futuristic and one-of-a-kind individuality. Mr. Mizuguchi, who has loved the Serra for many years and has driven approximately 30 of them, spent 10 years restoring the Ikebukuro "Amlux" limited edition car, which few people know about today, and recently completed the restoration. Here is the full story of the fantastic Serra.

A two-door, rear-wheel-drive car with a high-powered V8 engine, created between 1960 and 1970, is collectively called a "muscle car" in the United States. Never mind the handling, it is simply a big power, fast, straight-line leader. The word "muscle" (muscular) is probably used to describe this muscularity and fierceness. The Plymouth "Road Runner" introduced here was the antithesis of those vehicles that were too expensive at the time and were unleashed on the world at an inexpensive price setting so that even the young could afford it.

In 1970, in the midst of the high-growth era, the Nissan “Cherry” was introduced with the hope that it would grow like the cherry blossom, a flower known to be loved by many Japanese people. Mr. Sugiyama's favorite car is a high-end 1974 first generation KPE10 Cherry Coupe X-1R. What kind of car is it?

Mr. Kamahori says the first car he purchased after getting his driver's license was a Toyota Z20" Soarer. Although he had given it up once, he repurchased the Z20 Soarer 15 years ago because it was a car that had many memories for him. He enjoys dressing up the car completely as it was in the nostalgic period, as if he were reminiscing about those days.
