70's Australian Toyota Corona model

while on the recent topic of cars and stuff, for nostalgia there was a car that a family member had, manufactured in the 70's which was an orange/red toyota corona 2 door. The only real distinctive features i can recall were the hub caps, the interior was all black, the cassette player had no fast forward or rewind, and no radio, the speakers were in the rear side panels where the back passengers would sit, and that the fuel filler was located in the rear pillar. It looks like a E20 corolla in the pic below, but it's badges were corona and hub caps were different. I'm pretty sure it was all original.

I've only ever seen a couple since, as late as the late 80's or very early 90's. I can't find a pic on google etc.

any ideas?

Yep. The two first pics are Corollas.

Toyota had some interesting variations late 70s early 80s.

There was the Corolla Liftback which had very much the look of a Lancia about it.








Then there was the Mustang lookalike Celica.

it was possibly this, but with the front grille, front indicators and tail lights of the cars in my first post (KE20?). A fastback model with different wheel covers, badged as corona, just for australia maybe?

My sister bought one of those 1967 Corollas as her first car in the late 90's. Even thought it was 30 years old at the time she bought it, it looked like it was off the showroom floor. Still had the original tyres that she actually had to replace as they were crumbling, and there was no wear on the paint on the pedals. It only had 18,000 on the clock.

She was told by the car salesman that it was owned by an old lady who only used it to drive to church on Sunday (seriously, that is exactly what he said). We looked in the log book, found the ladies name and address and measured the distance to her local church. Multiplied the distance x 2 (got to drive there and back) x 52 (weeks a year) x 30 (years old), and the answer was 18,000.

First car salesman to ever tell the truth.

definitely a combination of that and the other photos. ta

i think it had only one set of head lights
