Description
The first generation of Toyota's amazing Corolla series emerged in late 1966. Known as the KE10 in initial four-cylinder, 1077cc, two or four-door sedan form there were also KE15 hardtop coupe and KE16 wagon variants. In the second half of 1969, the engine was updated to 1166cc and 48kW (up from 44kW) and with it each variant was renamed- KE11 for the sedan, KE17 hardtop and KE18 for the wagon. These were tied to a simple four-speed floor-shifted manual transmission with a two-speed automatic transmission also available. Right from 1966 Corollas were exported to Australia, the Toyota plant in Port Melbourne in charge of local assembly and as a result the Corolla has enjoyed a strong Australian following throughout its incredible 46 years in production.
