Toyota USA Automobile Museum : Toyota’s History in America

close
The race car section of the Toyota USA Auto Museum highlights Toyota’s winning tradition on the track.

Toyota is always moving forward. But once in a while, we like to peek over our shoulder along the way. The Toyota USA Automobile Museum showcases our most memorable vehicles since Toyota came to America more than 50 years ago. The first Toyota ever sold in the US? The 1958 Toyopet Crown, and you’ll find it here. James Bond’s ride in “You Only Live Twice”? The 1967 Toyota 2000GT, and it’s here too. Occupying a 45,000-square-foot space in Torrance, California, the museum is open to the public by appointment and has more than 100 vehicles in its permanent collection, including many Toyota Motor Sports race cars.
