The Design of the Century


While most Japanese cars have what most would consider "futuristic" styling, some models are clear reflections of the past. This is the 2014 Toyota Century. It bears a striking resemblance to the original 1967 Century and unlike many retro-styled cars in the US that are recent re-makes, the Century has maintained it's styling consistently since it's introduction 47 years ago. The interior is also almost identical to the '60s model.
It would appear that this car is considered the pinnacle of luxury. This model cost around $150,000 and the emperor of Japan is shuttled around in a modified version of the Century.
