The S60/70 was introduced in 1971 as the fourth generation of the Toyota Crown. It was available in several body styles such as: 4-door sedan, coupe, wagon and pickup. It mantained its rear-wheel drive configuration and offered 3, 4 and 5-speed manual transmissions, as well as a 3-speed automatic. Engine options included the 2.0L inline four and the 2.6L inline six engine. This generation cemented the Crown as a symbol of luxury and prestige within the Toyota lineup, introducing improvements in comfort and technology, such as power steering and air conditioning in higher trim levels. The S60/70 was produced until 1974, when it was replaced by the S80/90/100 fifth generation Toyota Crown.
