1974 Toyota Corona SR5
Made by Light Collector
Bought this new. It had a really slick 5 speed manual transmission and an overhead cam engine. This thing was one of the best driving cars I ever owned. I was transferred from Kingston, ON to Merrickville and while I did not drive back and forth every night, I made many of those trips, using all the back roads I could find. I don't remember just how quickly I made the trip, but I remember shaving minutes off every trip. Unfortunately, the body was prone to rusting and we had to trade it in before we really wanted to. It was in effect a Toyota Celica with a different body.
