I love Century! It's higher model than LS actually, the real flagship from Toyota.
Wonder how it got here in the US.

rare but ugly as all hell. Not my cup of tea. I like older JDM sports cars. Sedans, not so much

Was that the replacement for the Cressida? I had an 16 yr/old intern who was given a new Cressida back in '77, but her Mom was always driving it in preference to her own Rolls. It kinda resembled the Rolls, at about 7/8 scale, and having ridden in both a time or two, it was a pretty fair comparison. Give or take a few hundred grand.

As I read before, the car is based on Toyota Crown.
Oh and yeah, this is a V12.
