For us gearheads with hollow pockets and empty back accounts, amassing a collection of real life cars is nigh impossible, which probably explains why the scale model industry is thriving.
Now, there are scale models and there are scale models for individuals, and then there are the specialty car replicas made by automakers for their eyes alone. However, once in a very, very rare while, some companies share their secret creations for a limited time with the public, as is the case with Toyota.
In celebration of the brand’s 75th anniversary, Toyota is displaying no less than 50 one-fifth scale creations at the Toyota Automobile Museum in Nagakute city, Aichi prefecture until May 6.
These precise replicas of numerous production Toyota models were created by professional modelers at the Toyota Design Center and are usually stored away, but the automaker made this exception for its 75th anniversary. As you can see in the following pictures, the cars we taken one by one to the museum.
Along with the 50 scale models, Toyota is displaying an equal number of actual cars and hundreds of systematic diagrams, most of which are shownfor the first time in public.
