Toyota Crown (first generation, RS to S30) model years

The model year pages of the Toyota Crown (first generation, RS to S30), 1955 to 1961. Each page covers one model year of this generation and links to the year before and after it, to the generation page and to the Toyota Crown model page, so the whole run can be followed one year at a time. Body styles are properties of the pages and not separate groups. In brief: The first Crown went on sale in January 1955 as a car for public transport, with small engines to keep it affordable under Japan's new annual road tax.
