1987 Toyota Cressida

The Cressida was Toyota's big luxury car before being replaced by Lexus. The third generation shown here was arrived in 1985, and featured a modern and smooth design. Available as a sedan or wagon, the Cressida was fairly popular throughout its lifetime. This car is in great condition, and the aftermarket rims look absolutely fantastic.

1982 Toyota Celica GT

The 3rd gen Celica was introduced in 1981 with a very angular body, the style at the time. Like the Corolla AE86 of later years, it was available in both notchback and fastback/liftback body styles, and the styling was similar as well. Earlier cars had the exposed, though slanted, headlights, while later cars' headlights were fully hidden. Performance was okay, but a GT-S model was added for those who wanted a sporty Celica. This one looks great with the fender flares, 4-spoke rims, and pre-facelift headlights.

1977 Mercury Capri II S

The 1st generation Mercury Capri, a European Ford Capri, was available throughout the seventies. The first variations were known simply as the Capri, while a redesign in the mid 70s created the Capri II. 1977 was the final year of the European Capri; the name was used in the 80s on a rebadged Mustang, and in the nineties on a small convertible. The original Capris are great-looking, unique, and were respectable performance cars. This "S" looks great in the classic 70s black and gold.

1990 VW Vanagon Carat and 1986 VW AWD Transporter

Introduced as a replacement for the classic VW T2 Bus, the Transporter arrived in 1979. In the U.S., it was know as the Vanagon, and was said to combine the best of a van and a station wagon. The Transporter pickup was never officially imported to the U.S., but is a fairly popular truck to import. The Carat was a top trim level in 1990 and 91, with all options. Both Transporters shown here have custom 4 headlight grills, and the Carat stands out with its bodykit and sporty alloy rims.
