Toyota Celica - 1st Gen

Product Details

Product Description

The first-generation Toyota Celica was a two-door sports coupé designed for drivers who craved performance and style. Introduced in Japan in 1970 and in the United States in 1971, the Celica was intended as a competitor to the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro. The car was built on Toyota's A20 platform, using a rear-wheel drive layout and a MacPherson strut suspension system. The Celica's exterior design was sleek and aggressive, with a long hood, short deck, and low roofline. The car featured pop-up headlights, a distinctive hood bulge, and an integrated rear spoiler. Inside, the Celica was sporty and luxurious, with front bucket seats, a center console, and plush carpets. Under the hood, the 1st gen Celica had a choice of two engines: a 1.4-liter 4-cylinder engine with a single overhead camshaft (SOHC) that produced 86 horsepower, or a 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine with a SOHC that produced 108 horsepower. Both engines were paired with a 4-speed manual transmission or an optional 3-speed automatic. Optional features included air conditioning, power windows, power locks, and a rear window defroster. The car also offered a variety of aftermarket accessories, including racing stripes, spoilers, and aftermarket wheels. The Toyota Celica 1st gen was a popular car among enthusiasts and remains a classic example of 1970s Japanese sports cars. Its timeless design and impressive performance make it a collector's item in the modern day.
