Readers' Photos # 120: 5th Generation Toyota Crown (S80, circa 1974)


Today's photos, showcasing an elegant - possibly even "stately", if you're permitted to use that term for non-British cars - fifth generation Toyota Crown are courtesy of Humpty, reprising his role as the Special Correspondent for Places with Sandy Coastlines.  He’s on two for two at the minute, having also come through with the very, very popular Datsun 180B SSS published on the very last day of 2021 (https://uppermiddlepetrolhead.blogspot.com/2021/12/readers-photos-119-datsun-180b-sss.html).      


The car appears to be a totally original, completely unmolested example of every 50 to 60 year old’s grandfather’s pride and joy, resplendent in classic Toyota "Signal Yellow" (paint code # 91479).  Not that my dearly long-departed grandfather would have approved of the mags, mind you, even if they are era correct!  He might've thought the sun-visor was okay, though.   


Are you wondering why there's no full-frontal?  Whilst the occupants were happy to have their car featured on UMPH, our special correspondent thought that it might be taking a liberty to snap them as they tucked into their KFC!  Finger-lickin' good, eh?!
