A few years ago when Sam worked at Arch in Far Rockaway he told me about a old Corona sitting at a shop. I came by one day thrilled to go see it, to more surprise it was more than one they had 3 sitting here.
The owners just started to collect them for a unknown reason. They were Rt40s till I looked closer. One was a Rt40 sedan two were rare Rt52 coupes. Right away I locked my sight on the yellow coupe because it the most complete. They gave me a price, but life was in the way.
I kept checking on them to make sure they still existed. They weren't going anywhere.
Aftet Sandy last year I feared they were washed away like the rest of Far Rockaway, but they stood their ground. A friend of ours showed interest this week when he called looking for a Corona. Reluctantly I told him about these under one condition. It would be mine after he's tired of it . We came to a agreement. I went by this morning to make sure they were still there. If the stars line up we'll be going back this week to strike up a deal for that Canary Yellow 1968 Toyota Corona 1600 GT. Huge smiles from behind this keyboard about that.
