Hey there folks. I'm working on a website for the Toyota Vintage Vehicle Museum and need a suggested retail price on the 1966 Corona. I'd like to get some proof of the price as well. Any help would be appreciated.

From 'Toyota Dealer List' booklets, one about mid 1966 to mid 1967, and one dated August 1967 (early 1968 model RT43 & including the RT52 with very the early tail lights like Peter Rosario has):
From the 1966-67 Booklet: RT43L 4 Door Sedan (1966-67 picture) $1760.00 p.o.e.
Optional Equipment Suggested retail (Installed): Fresh Air Heater & Defroster $60.00 White Sidewall Tires $35.00 Windshield Washer w/2-speed wiper $20.00 Anti-freeze $4.00 4-way flasher $5.00 Automatic Transmission $165.00 Transistor Radio with Antenna (not installed) $57.50 Dealer preparation & Handling $57.50 Front Seatbelt & Carpeting at no extra cost.
From the August 1967 Booklet: RT43L 4 Door Sedan $1760 p.o.e. RT52 2 Door Hardtop $1985 p.o.e.
Option & Accessories Suggested Retail (Factory Installed); Fresh Air Heater & Defroster $60.00 White Sidewall Tires $35.00 Windshield Washer w/2-speed wiper $20.00 Anti-freeze $4.00 4-way flasher $5.00 Rear Seat Belts $10.00 Automatic Transmission $165.00 Front Seatbelt & Carpeting at no extra cost.

Thanks for the reply. I do have p.o.e. prices for this model, but not suggested retail price. Any further information from anybody?

I believe that these prices are retail, and that the transportation cost from the p.o.e. to the dealer would give the total sticker price.
So if you already have p.o.e. prices, then you have all you need except transportation costs.
