Artifact Overview

In the 1960s Volkswagen's "Beetle" was the bestselling imported car in America, but it was a 1930s design. Toyota's new 1966 Corona not only looked different, it had more room, better performance, and was more comfortable. Toyota would eventually replace Volkswagen as the bestselling foreign car maker.
