Inside Toyota's Commemorative Museum of Industry and Technology in Japan
While in Tokyo to attend the 2023 Japan Mobility Show last month, we had the opportunity to take a tour of the Toyota Commemorative Museum of Industry and Technology in Nagoya. Surprisingly, this remarkable facility doesn’t just feature Toyota and Lexus cars. You can find a number of legends from across the auto industry.
Ford, Chevrolet, Ferrari, Mercedes-Benz and lesser-known brands are all on display, allowing visitors to travel back in time. That’s what this photo gallery is for, too. We hope you’ll enjoy it, starting with the 1967 Toyota 2000GT Roadster many argue is the most beautiful Japanese car of all time.
