The general look of this car says it is a pre-facelift Series 50 Toyota Crown but the grille mesh looks wrong. Maybe a European model? I found a four cylinder RS50 model like it - http://www.klassikot.fi/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/toyota_crown.jpg - which is Finland? Location for this TV show is Latvia - close enough?? -- Last edit: 2016-10-09 20:55:05 |

The series was made by the Riga Film Studio in Latvia (or, as it was, the Latvian SSR). Soviet film-makers often used locations in Latvia and Lithuania as stand-ins for western Europe, Britain and the USA, etc. IIRC, Japanese cars were not sold commercially in the USSR but were sometimes imported privately by foreign trade companies. So it might have come from Finland or another European market, or it might equally have not. -- Last edit: 2016-10-09 11:16:07 |
