Good day, I stumbled across a 1967 Corona a few weeks ago and knew nothing about it and made an emotional decision based on the condition, looks and overall feel of the car. Man can I tell you that I love it! I paid the moon for it, but man is it a great little car! I am 100% new to Toyota cars but know The Land Cruisers very very well and do high profile restorations ranging from 40-70k and reproduce the decals for all of them.  Here is my eBay link to some decals stores.shop.ebay.com/Aatlas1x-Land-Cruiser-Decals__W0QQ_armrsZ1 same I have seen on early Toyota cars and other models as some may work for you. I am working with Carlyn Dinkler on reproducing the Corona and Corolla models and excited about doing so as I want to restore mine to "as new" condition. Best, Shane Oregon City, OR |

Shane, Welcome to the TORC forums!
Looks like a nice Corona that you got your hands on!
Please share more about it with us. Do you also own Land Cruisers, or do you just make stickers for them?
Glad to hear that you are working with Carlyn to bring the Toyota community some reproduction stickers - we definately need them!

I am Cruiser less at the moment, I do high end full ground up restorations that parallel www.tlc4x4.com and supply him with his decals for his resto and supply www.sor.com will all their decals for the land Cruiser community around the globe. I also have a company that reproduces the Lexus LX450 and 93-97 Land Cruiser leather interiors. www.fototime.com/users/aatlas1x@aol.com/LEXUS%20LX-450%20reproduction%20leatherEven old school FJ55 interiors as well www.fototime.com/users/aatlas1x@aol.com/FJ55%20Reproduction%20InteriorsThe decals came up years ago as I was able to create a new land cruiser but it was missing the original documentation of all the P/N decals and other ones, so I did all I could over the past 5 years. As for the Corona its a '67 with 52 miles on it, has not been on the road in 12 years. I was really hesitant about making the hour drive home in it but I bit the bullet and love it! She had new OE hoses that I put on as the originals were swollen twice their size. I really dont know where to start. I am either going to wet sand it ans drive it or tear it apart and go deep into it. The inside it nearly mint other than the carpet is way faded, but that easy as I have deep contacts in the NOS material world. Head liner and all panels need nothing. I bought a ugly parts car for the drive train that I will tear apart and have them powder coated and new suspension parts installed for a tight ride. What at the thoughts on having a set of OE wheels widen 2-3" so that a set of 205 or 215 tires installed. Shane |

Nice examples of Land Cruisers!
About the Corona jack - the Corona's had a scissors style jack. I'll try looking for a picture of one...
