The Toyota AA was the first passenger car produced by Toyota Motor Corporation in 1936. It was designed to be a reliable and affordable vehicle, featuring a 3.4-liter inline-six engine. The AA was inspired by American car designs of the time, showcasing a blend of functionality and style. Only about 1,400 units of the Toyota AA were manufactured before production ceased in 1943 due to World War II. This model laid the foundation for Toyota's future success in the automotive industry, marking the beginning of its journey toward becoming one of the largest car manufacturers in the world.
