Banjo Posted 14 hours ago Report Posted 14 hours ago (edited) Came across this March 1968 Modern Motor magazine advertisement, this afternoon; which will bring a smile to some faces. Now Toyota Corolla 1100 gives you the choice - all synco 4-speed gearbox, or brand new-fully automatic Toyoglide transmission ! Slip the stubbyToyoglide lever into "drive". No need to change for traffic lights or hills. Automatic kick-down gives first gear acceleration for any emergency. Slip into "L" and Corolla holds first gear. You can't change from neutral to reverse accidentally. "P" for Park brake on the transmission. Flashing performance from Corolla's 60 horsepower engine. 36 m.p.g. plus fuel ecomomy. Built-in heater/ demistor . . . hipster reclining bucket seats . . . windscreen washers . . . 2 speed wipers . . . and more. Now have your excitement machine without changing gears !

altezzaclub Posted 13 hours ago Report Posted 13 hours ago $1700 for a brand-new car!!! You can see what Govts printing money does to the value of the currency, that inflation they induce adds up over a few years! Quote
Banjo Posted 12 hours ago Author Report Posted 12 hours ago (edited) Extra $ 250 gets You an AUTOMATIC ! When I bought my KE-30 (1974) 2 door from a little olde lady, it had a 2 speed auto in it, & 96K klms on the speedo. She couldn't have thrashed it; even if She wanted to. Didn't take long before I fitted a 5 speed gear box. Cheers Banjo Edited 10 hours ago by Banjo Quote
