1960 Toyota Toyopet Crown Custom

this description from the now missing museum section of the dealer website:

In 1960, while living in San Francisco, California; Dr. John M. Cruikshank purchased this 1960 Toyopet Crown custom Sedan brand-new. It is one of the very fist vehicles ever exported from Japan to America. It is equipped with a 4 cylinder (60 HP) engine and a 3 speed manual transmission. We have been told that the original retail-selling price was approximately $2000 (US).

We met Dr. Cruikshank for the first time in 1969 after he had retired and relocated to Calgary. He had inquired about parts he needed for his Toyopet and wondered if we could accommodate him. Since this model from Toyota was never sold in Canada, we were unable to obtain the requested parts from our Canadian Distributor. However, we are affiliated with a number of USA dealers and through our contacts, we were able to secure every item Dr. Cruikshank requested.

When asked how he might show his appreciation for the service that we rendered, we suggested that should he ever wish the opportunity to sell his Toyopet, he might give us the first opportunity. On September 11, 1973; Heninger Toyota became the proud owner of Dr. Cruikshank's Toyopet. On that date the odometer showed only 35 674 miles. It is still in fine running condition today.

Dr. Cruikshank has since passed away, just a few years shy of his 90th birthday.
