For those who were already around in the 70's, you probably know what a Toyota Crown is. In fact, the model has been around since 1955 and is touted as Toyota’s flagship sedan. And to cap off the year of the water dragon, the Aichi-based Japanese car manufacturer rolled-out the red carpet for the all-new 2013 Crown.
Two flavors of the Crown are on offer: a commanding Royal and a stylish Athlete.

Classic Toyota Hunt: 1989 Crown is Philippines' earliest locally-manufactured Toyota
Words and photos by Jose Carlo R. Sapera
To celebrate their 500,000th production unit in the country since 1989, Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) launched the search for the earliest locally-manufactured Toyota vehicle back in March 2012 called the “Classic Toyota Hunt.” The mechanics were simple. Simply present your oldest locally-produced Toyota in your nearest Toyota Dealership and stand to win a brand new Innova. Of course, vehicles must be in running condition to qualify, and its engine, body, and chassis must be original, not modified and tampered with. And after the searching the entire nation, Mr. Anthony G. Chengliong and his 1989 Toyota Crown Deluxe emerged as the winner.
