1968 Toyota Corolla

Imagine the owner of a 19-foot-long, 375 hp Cadillac pulling up next to this car in 1968. Was the Caddy driver's reaction, "Wow, Toyota will conquer the automotive world" ? Probably not.

Observations:
* You have to stand next to this car to appreciate how truly tiny it is.
* Speaking of Cadillacs, the engine in the 1968 Sedan deVille was fully seven times as large as the 1.1 liter inline-4 in this Corolla.
* This particular Corolla lacks the optional side mirrors. Trying to change lanes on an expressway in this car must be terrifying.
