As the owner of Vietnam’s largest car collection, Dang Le Nguyen Vu, also known as the “coffee king,” has recently added a unique car to his garage – the Toyota Corona.

During the first day of the new year in 2024, the coffee tycoon was seen taking the car out for a ride.

Based on its exterior, it can be deduced that this particular Corona belongs to the third generation, which was produced from 1964 to 1970 in the Japanese market and from 1966 to 1972 in the Korean market.

The car features a classic design with two round headlights and a sturdy grille, resulting in a harmonious look. Below the grille, there is a protruding black front bumper.

On the side, you’ll find orange turn signal lights, along with the iconic Corona logo and UN lettering, which are common features on the coffee king’s car models.

At the rear of the car, there is a cluster of turn signal lights, taillights, and reverse lights that form a continuous strip along with the rear bumper.

As for the interior, the cabin of this Toyota Corona has undergone a complete reupholstering, creating a fresh space while still maintaining its classic charm. The amenities inside the car remain unchanged, with the coffee tycoon only adding an ashtray and a coffee cup holder.

Powering the Toyota Corona is a 1.5-liter I4 engine with the designation 2R, delivering a maximum power of 74 horsepower at 5000 rpm and a maximum torque of 116 Nm at 2600 rpm. It is equipped with a manual transmission.

Over time, especially since the country opened up in the 1990s, Soviet cars have gradually disappeared to be replaced by Japanese, American, and European cars. Many Volga, Lada, and UAZ cars were liquidated from state agencies and transferred to civilian registration, but they did not exist for long before a wave of both imported and assembled cars flooded the streets. Soviet cars slowly drifted away and became a nostalgic reminder of a generation that has gone through two wars.
