Big Dave ◊ 2021-06-29 22:55	Could be a Toyopet Masterline RR17 van
Gongora ◊ 2021-06-29 23:42	a challenge ... The base is a Toyopet Crown [RS] ... The body is modified later ... I have to find the exact model
Gongora ◊ 2021-07-01 22:21	Finally I found photos from a very similar model:
fred1969 ◊ 2021-07-01 22:26	I'd say a Toyopet crown rs model 1955 or 58 -> http://2000gt.net/Histoire/Toyota3.php (very usefull as taxi) -- Last edit: 2021-07-01 22:29:49
Gongora ◊ 2021-07-01 22:33	They were models manufactured in small series by bodybuilders ... Before the state wagon Masterline [RS26V] version was marketed on the RS20 chassis ... I can't find the exact name but my proposal is Toyopet Crown Station Wagon (RS)

Gongora ◊ 2021-07-02 00:23	It seems that the Gaz Volga was not the only car that was inspired by the 1952 Ford line ...
