Toyota Corolla (Japan, 1974-1979)

In 1974, Toyota released the third generation of the Corolla model, which lasted until 1981. The third Corollas were slightly larger and heavier and again rounder versions of the preceding generation. A 2-door liftback was added to the range.   Perhaps as a consequence of the fuel/oil crisis of the 1970’s in the United States (that affected the international economy), the third generation Corolla was the one that was active for more years than any other, especially because its fuel efficiency and affordability were much superior to the American and European heavier models. Being a longer generation, the third Corolla was released in a few series: E30, E40, E50 and E60.
