1959 Toyota Crown

Automobiles

Sales to the United States more than tripled in 1959, to 967 cars, even though the Deluxe price rose to 2,329 dollars. In October Toyota introduced Japan's first diesel powered passenger car, the Crown Diesel, but its C series engine produced only 40 PS. It was model year 5 of 7 in the Toyota Crown (first generation, RS to S30), 1955 to 1961, coming after the 1958 model year and before the 1960 model year. Model year pages for the Toyota Crown run from 1955 to 2026.
