Background

The Toyota Classic is a limited-production luxury car produced by Japanese manufacturer Toyota in 1996. It was styled after the Toyota AA of the 1930s–1940s. It used a fifth generation Toyota Hilux, type GA-YN86 rear-wheel-drive frame, with a 2-litre 3Y-E petrol engine producing 96 hp (72 kW) and 118 lbf⋅ft (160 N⋅m). Its interior was taken from a contemporary Toyota, but made more consistent with the car's exterior by the addition of wood to the dashboard and leather to the seats. Toyota sold 100 cars and charged roughly US$75,000 for each of them.
