Toyota brings back the Crown sedan — and some 50-year-old memories
. A Toyota Crown. It was a four-door sedan, kind of bland, but kind of special, too. To me, anyway. When I was growing up, no one I knew had a Toyota Crown. Not a lot of people had any kind of Japanese car.
It wasn’t even the first Japanese car we had. My father had a little convertible sports car called a Datsun 1600. It looked a bit like an MGB but was more reliable. We also came back with a Honda motorcycle and a Mamiya medium-format camera. For a long time, Japanese products were kind of a joke in the United States: cheap tat that broke, something you bought only because you couldn’t afford the “real” thing.
