1965 Toyota Crown S40 'S' Sedan

The Crown was Toyota’s larger, luxury car, first produced in 1955. The first model was the 1955-62 S30.
The next model was this, the 1962-67 S40, dramatically restyled, longer, wider and lower with a grille similar to the 1960 Imperial and dual headlights. The 4 cyl was replaced in 1965 with a 1988cc 6 cyl. Deluxe and Super Deluxe models were available.
The Crown 'S' got twin carburettors, disc brakes, sports suspension, 4 speed gearbox and full sports instrumentation.
Toyota Australia manufactured cars from 1963 until 2017, the Toyota Crown from 1966-1980 at Australian Motor Industries (AMI) in Port Melbourne.
Toyota New Zealand also manufactured cars from 1967-1998. The S60-S80 were assembled there by Steel Motor Assemblies in Christchurch and Campbell Motor Industries in Thames.
A handful of these S40 'S' came to Australia where they were successful in racing events. A S40 'S' driven by Bill Buckle competed in the 1966 Gallaher 500, finishing 16th
