It is said that when Sakichi Toyota of Toyoda Automatic Loom visited the U. S. in 1910, he saw mass-produced Model-T Ford cars and was interested in automobile production. He introduced the first experimental car in 1935 and the next year, `Toyoda' was changed to 'Toyota,' which was registered as an official trademark. In 1938, Koromo Plant was completed and in 1959, Koromo City changed its name to Toyota City. Toyota has become one of the best car makers in the world in a half century and the same thing could be said of Japan.



Toyopet Crown RS of this Museum was manufactured in 1958, but this type had been already produced since January, 1955. Deluxe RSD of this type was introduced in December. Its windshield has a bar and not many cars of this type remain today.



While Nissan, Hino, and Isuzu joined hands with Austin, Renault, Hillman respectively, Toyota pursued domestic production. It is no exaggeration to say that Toyopet is the car which enabled Toyota to hold a dominant position in the Japanese market by mass production and high quality for the first time and which laid the foundations of today's Toyota.



And here's Mr Toyoda

Hey Guys, Plans for Caterpillar automatics are for class 5 and up for vocational applications only. The CX28 will match behind the C7 and C9. It's a planetary drive transmission with technology from the Off-Highway articulated dump trucks. No plans for light duty in pickup trucks. We don't build the Aisin.

Hey fellas. . you all know it's really an Allison... the Japanese just can't pronounce the L's and didn't use Spellcheck.

That's interesting you mention Toyota. We are in the forklift business (we sell Komatsu and Daewoo lifts) and we have several Toyota lifts in our rental fleet, as well as service many of them. They have a badge on them that says "Toyoda Automatic Loom Works". They also have an Aisin transmission!

The smaller Komatsu lifts use the Aisin transmission too. It is a very well built trans and will take a lot of abuse in a forklift.

Yes, Now I know where I have seen that plate before! it was a forklift. Ours had a small diesel 6 and it took lots of abuse. It was a good machine. Most hi=lo's we have now are Yale electric's, with two bigger diesels, one perkins powered yale and a 6B powered Clark.



It's also interesting to see how that timetable shows Asin moving into american soil-like eeryone else
