Toyota is advertising their 50th Anniversary.

Now, I know Toyota was making cars prior to 1957. They had been making
them in Japan and selling them in Asia since 1937 or so. So, it should be
their 70th or so anniversary.


So I guess that means their 50th Anniversary in the US, and they must be
counting the 2-4 years they FAILED trying to sell Toyopets!

I think they are counting from the time TMS USA was incorporated.

Time flies! I found a 25th Anniversary brochure and a 5M engine repair
manual in my stack of old papers.

Tell me about it! Every time my wife 'tidies up' my messes, I can't find a
thing. It ought to be against the law for a "clutterer" to marry a
"cleaner".
