A course correction for Toyota: out with the adventurous, in with straight lines and conservatism. With the 1970s recession, the fifth-generation Crown had a longer life, while 2600 models were longer (4,690 mm versus 4,765 mm for the sedans; 4,655 and 4,740 for hardtops). Pioneering four-speed automatic introduced with this model. New bodystyle of a four-door pillared hardtop.
