Toyota does not build many cars like the Toyota AA: a Sedan with 3.4L Type A I6, built from 1935 when streamlining and independent suspension were arriving together.
The background
The A1 was the first prototype passenger car built by the company that became Toyota. It was redesigned and put into production as Toyota's first production cars, the AA sedan and the AB cabriolet. These were succeeded by the similar AE, AC and BA sedans. The series as a whole was replaced by the quite different and much more advanced SA.
The engineering
Under the skin sits 3.4L Type A I6. The gearbox is a 3-speed manual. The layout matters: a front engine drives the rear wheels, the classic proportion — long bonnet, cabin set back — that most people picture when they picture a sports saloon or a grand tourer. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
Where it sits
Where it sits in Toyota's history is not in doubt: the Toyota AA followed it; it was built at Koromo, Japan. On a showroom list of its day it stood against the Chevrolet Suburban, the Bugatti Type 57, the Volkswagen Beetle. Its Toyota stablemates include the Toyota Agya and the Toyota Calya.
The money
There is no federal ownership record for the Toyota AA — it predates the complaint database or was never sold in the United States — so MotorJury publishes no running-cost figure for it. For a car of this age the price is set by the collector market and the condition of the individual example, not by a formula.
