I love this man for loving his car, a true enthusiast.
Oh yes I forgot about these cars!
@@johnmandragon4830 looks great!
He did an excellent job of narrating and presenting his car , professional quality
The fact that those colors havent faded and stained like crazy is just awesome! The gizmos in there like the auto rewind tape deck are so cool. Awesome toyota!
And its body looks completely made out of metal! It even looks like a heavy car 😯
@@isaaclopez63 thats what I was thinking, but after he got in the car and zipped aroumd a bit, looks like the power is balanced to the weight of the vehicle. Plus UNIQUE emblems!😯😯

I like how this guy talks about the car the entire time and not about some battery he got 30 years ago that nobody cares about. Good video.
Awesome guy!
Lol, I remember that video.
@@bagheerab278 What video was that?
@@nakoma5 Check out the Scotty video: Why This Chevy Corvette Gets a Free Car Battery for Life. Was kind of an interesting story, just went on too long!
@@bagheerab278 lol, you're right it's more like "Show Off your Battery" Sunday. Not that it's a bad story though. x D
359,000 kilometers = 223,072 miles. Great car, thanks for sharing.
hey, thankyou for converting the kilos' to miles as i was wondering how many miles is 359 yada yada yadas
ron valic 1 mile=1.609344 km.
David Cisco now I don’t have to go on google and search the conversion
The caaaai
Converting km to miles:
multiply km by .6
Ex: 6km is 3.6 miles
A 35 year old Toyota is more reliable than a 3.5 year old German car.
And you can work on it yourself (for the most part).
Absolutely
Touché. My family still has a 1st generation Highlander from when it was brand new with almost 350K miles on it now.
This car outlived any 1990’s-2000 North America BMW.
sad and real
This is what happens when they don't salt the roads

I bought an '84 Cressida for $200 when it was 14 years old. Northeast winters, neglected, dirty, a real mess.
What a freakin' great car it turned out to be. Never needed anything but regular maintenance like oil and brake pads etc. Amazing car.

Hey can I have one!😂😂😂😂😂😂😀😁😃😄😅😆😉😊😋
luKe Butvit But it had a bad temper because it blew a gasket easily. 😅
Cool stuff from Down Unda!
My first car was a 1984 Toyota Cressida and let me tell you that inline 6 was bulletproof.. I was only 16 but I fell in love with Toyotas that very car!! 240,000 trouble free miles....My little brother launched it into the forest from falling asleep at the wheel that finally did it in hahaha!
Nothing better than a classic Toyota.
Only poor point of those Cressida's was the rear differential, they do not like having full power put through them from that engine, though with that one being automatic, while here in South Africa they only ever came out with either a 4 speed or 5 speed manual, the driving style is different. Good thing is the Corolla and Cressida shared a lot of the drivetrain, so spares should be easy enough, and you probably can pick up the parts as used spares for the lights.
I liked my Corolla, learnt a lot about body rust repair on it, along with engine overhauls. I know how the drive in that Cressida feels as well.
SeanBZA my Cressida was the 5 speed manual. Rear drive so donuts were a blast on my dads tennis court!!🏎
Was the car ok?😬👍🏽
MrDasilva8383 nope. Totaled. 😢
Toyota Cressida used to be super popular in the middle east back in the 80's and 90's. You can still see them around here in Bahrain from time to time. My parents had a 1982 and 1992 Cressida and they loved it. There was also the Toyota Crown, the flagship luxury car at the time. They sold it all the way up to 1997 before they stopped selling it here.
ToyGTone were the Middle East Toyota crowns hard tops or pillared sedans
@@Marklin15 depending on the generation but I believe we did have both of them back in the day.
They still make new Toyota Crowns
OMG … So fun fact: my name is Cressida … and I was born in Manama,Bahrain…. then I moved to Canada 10 years later. Reading your comment got me nostalgic… and also has me more assured that my Dad was a fan of Toyota so much that he picked the name for me. He hasn't confirmed it yet, but I'm still working on it lol …. I miss seeing the Toyota Cressida around…
Rev up your Lexus ancestors
I think the Toyota crown was the predecessor , at least in NZ
@@TylerDurden-oy2hm the Crown still exists
@@AntJoseph_ yes it does...its a rebadged LS 430....
Man, that's a clean car!
My advice vacuum car once a week get car wash spray and wipe dash and trim with a cloth and if you leather use leather cleaner with a cloth but a clean one that's it I that's how clean mine
@@marioiacolucci I understand, but I live in WI, also known as the rust belt. Unless you park your in the winter. 😉
@@kw535075 I'm from Toronto I keep my car outside Always so I still try to keep it clean and I put newspapers underneath my mats front and back vacuum as well and then in may spring cleaning big job but I do my car and my dads as well wished we lived were there is no snow oh well
@@marioiacolucci yeah, but the bodies of will rust thru, unlike that cresida in Australia, lmao!
@@kw535075 I know but I'm not keeling the car for ever 2008 Honda accord v6 not Brand new
I love my 1981 Cressida MX62 "Luxury Sedan". Bought it 7 years ago with a blown head gasket due to a bad fan clutch. Water going out the exhaust not in the oil, thank goodness. A top end rebuild got it back on the road. The 5ME is a simple chain driven single overhead cam engine, so it is easy to work on. Finding parts can be a pain, but its worth it. What a comfortable ride! And with 182k miles it runs like a sewing machine.
My favourite Show Off Sunday video so far!

My favourite show off Sunday was the Toyota motorhome
Rev up your Toyota Luxury car from 1983.
Those early Toyotas were beautifully made. Good on you mate from another Aussie.
That car looks heavy and almost completely metal. It's amazing to see how quality has gone down in car manufacturing 😯 That Toyota can last forever for reals 😂
That's why we need to hold on to older cars. Keep them running and well maintained
Heavy is a bad thing. Bad MPG and Slow
Metal isn't what makes a car reliable.
Certain metals do (There are different kinds of metal people 🙄) and you guys are saying it like if cars today dont rust 😂 and plastic itself isn't the best thing either, I think we can all agree to that 😂
How come people don't like Toyota?
Rev up yer Cressidas!!!
I had the first generation Cressida 1986... Love that car until a first time driver ran a light during a storm Broad Side me! Car was total.
My dad had a 79 Cresida station wagon, it was rusty but it worked, he sold it in 2009 for the same price that he bought it for in 1998 (because of inflation).
It was pronounced Cres-sid-a here, right? Not Cres-seed-a? I know the Brits and Aussies pronounce things a little differently. Just making sure I remembered it right.
@@lovethemflowers yup, its cress-sid-uh. I'd know, cuz this one time in auto tech we got to work on one

1999 Lexus LS400. Everyone should drive a 90's ls400 just to experience the ultimate driving experience. 1UZ-FE game over
Traveling with Rick my son has a 97 LS400. It rides like a dream. I told him that if he ever decides to get a different car that I will buy it off of him.
I used to deliver Lexus cars in the mid 1990s via semi truck. So I have driven lots of Lexus cars.
I want to buy one as a beater car. I’ve driven one back then and it’s one of the most refined cars I’ve ever driven. But they’re either too expensive or in rough shape.
been a passenger in one, the ride is like silk and the seats are some of the best ever, 1UZ is amazing
I have problem with square car.
I take my hat off to this dedicated Toyota Cressida owner. Congratulations! Thanks for the video upload.
Spare tire with alloy wheel, truly luxury 😆
Someone never owner top spec car. Most of them come with matching wheel.
Love seeing classic Toyotas, I have a 1986 Toyota Celica Supra and it's my forever car.
The best feature is that you can record a tape in the car i never seen that before
Fantastic! Great to see a fellow Aussie. Love it when cars stay in the family for so long. Lots of memories and sentimental attachment.
Auto reverse cassette! Must have feature back in the day
Anthony Hairston. Yes Taurus had them as did most factory radios. The Ford had a song skip feature that used the radio station search button forward or back. This you could skip to the next song or back to the beginning of the song you just played. Simulating a feature of CDs.
Not the reverse that I noticed he said. It was you could record on your cassette player in your car 🚗... wow!! My Cressida did not have that feature.
@@g.t.g1111 I have never seen a recording option in a car stereo. Can see how it could be entertaining on a long trip.
AM and FM stereo, luxury. That tape deck probably does not work though, as all the little rubber belts and idlers would now have been well cooked by the heat, and gone alternately brittle and soggy. But probably a nearly all metal deck, so repairable with just new rubber tyres on the shafts.
I had an 85 CRX brand new when I was in Guam. I put a Kenwood stereo in it and not only did it have Auto reverse but the music from the radio would play when it was in rewind mode. Yeah baby
Wonderful memories as my Dad had an 84 in Canada that was handed down to me, I passed it on to my son, who then passed it back to me when he left Canada to do his post doc in Australia. I passed the car onto a girlfriend , now wife, and sold it to a good home in 2003. Best all around car that I ever owned and was sorry to see it go, probably still around as it was solid and ultra reliable. Canadian winters took a toll on body of car and I had to fight rust problems but it was a pleasure to drive.
I'm glad to see the car is being taken care of by multiple generations. It shows that the car will basically last forever if you take care of it well and keep everything up to OEM standards. Respects to the owner.
never thought I would ever watch a 14 minute video on an early 80's Toyota but since it was on Scotty's channel I watched it from start to finish and actually enjoyed
Your grandpa would be very proud.
Well done James.
By today's standards, it's not very luxurious, but in '83.... Cars now have too many bells and whistles (sound and fury, signifying nothing). I knew someone who had a Cresida then and it was one of the nicest cars you could ask for at the time. You've done a wonderful job preserving it. Thank you for sharing.
If you compare these to say a 5 series BMW of the time, the Cressida was more luxurious for sure.
Beemer fans will shoot me saying that but it’s true.
A top line 2.8i Cressida in 83 had more bells and whistles than a 528i .
A softer and more quieter ride.
The Beemer was the sports sedan . A Cressida was a luxo barge.
People bought the Beemer to show off wealth.
Sensible old folks bought the Cressida for comfort.
This car will still be riding on the ground when we all use flying cars.
Caai
Brings back a lot of memories, thanks for sharing this. This shows the quality back then compared to now. It is wonderful that you still have this vehicle, wow! Excellent presentation too.
These and the rear wheel drive Maximas were always great cars.
Everything look fresh, even under the hood, good job on maintaining a classic dude👍
Water comes in through the tail lights too (rubber seals dry rot), my 1989 Supra has that issue, beautiful automobile, I love seeing the older Toyota's.
BEST review of a car that I have seen other than from Scotty. This Aussie is smart and knows this car very well.
My parents had this version and a previous version of the Cressida. Good to see this fine looking example. Congratulations on preserving this car!
Wauw,this car is in realy good condition! You live there in a dry climate,i guess? Here in West-Europe(UK,France,Holland,Belgium,Sweden,Denmark etc.) we live in a wet and cool climate. So the biggest enemy of cars was rust.. You don't saw the Cressida very often here in Europa. And they didn't survive because of rust,like all Japanese cars in those years.
Very well restored!! You must be really proud of this car. A lot of family sentimental value. Very well done mate from USA Indiana.
This is awesome, can never have too many of these types of owners in the car world
This is how you should take car and honor your car. What a great owner/driver.
James...GREAT CAR!!!!! The US Cressida version was an unreal luxury car!!! It was just amazing! Much smaller headlights,and more trim grill,very stylish to this day. And the cloth/velour interior, were like Lay-Z-Boy chairs, so comfortable.
Thousands of buttons to control everything, none of the junk 'touchscreens' of today, it was just pure luxury.
Rode as silent as can be. It was and still is a beautiful car. IF I could ever find one in good ,let alone great shape, I would buy one today...over a Lexus, todays cars are so much plastic, so many more computers, so much junk...those were the days of luxury, not just extra 'stuff' for the sake of 'stuff'. This car is a true beauty,congrats!!
Absolutely fantastic! Love seeing these old ones in original condition. And that radio, all the shiny buttons and knobs. Amazing.
Well done. Keeping that car in such condition also says a lot about the fella and his family.
My first car was a 1983 Toyota Corolla when I was 13 years old and I believe one of my uncles still drives the car with 457,000 miles on it
This is nice from Down Under. The Cressida has held up so well thanks for good maintenance culture. You'd make a great automotive journalist. Keep it up.
As Lexus wasn't a thing in Japan until the late 2000's, Lexus is actually an acronym for Luxury EXport Unites States.
Didn't know that...thanks!
Justin Pennito
That title beat out entrants like Verone, Chaparel, Vectre, and Calibre. Two main theories still persist concerning the meaning of the Lexus name: it's an acronym for “luxury exports to the US” and it's a combination of “luxury” and “elegance.” However, according to Team One, the name never had a specific meaning.Apr 10, 2015
Looks like that could be an old wives tale.
Here in Australia, we had a Toyota Lexcen introduced 1989 which was a badge engineered GM Holden Commodore and had a Buick based 3800 V6 (!) and the then new Lexus brand was introduced the following year, I thought it was related to the Lexcen name. Talk about confused!!
@@jamesfrench7299 In Australia we also got the Holden Apollo, which was the other way around, it was a badge engineered Toyota Camry with Holden badges on it.
Slayermetallica69 Holden Nova don't forget, a Corolla.
Wow you’ve kept this vehicle in immaculate shape. Thank you for the journey back in time.
If this was filmed in Australia, shouldn't the video be upside down?
My boss had one in Honolulu in 1984-dark blue. Nice car- classy and reliable.
The Dusty Keratometer what was it like in the 80s?
I’m impressed, this guy loves his Cressida and is dedicated to it. That’s pretty cool.
My dad had a maroon colored ‘84. The American models had four separate glass sealed beams on the front. Smooth and powerful six with a perfectly mated automatic. RWD! Pinnacle of quality. We called it the Japanese Mercedes!
Page Foster haha, I have heard the sixes in these are based on a Mercedes design!
@@jamesfrench7299 Based on a Mercedes Benz design, but still somehow very reliable.
Great video and brilliant car. I do love visiting Australia, you see so many amazing older cars, period Toyotas, Datsuns (Nissans) and Mazdas are my favourites.
only miss some quirks and features by the australian de muro, nice car.
And THAT right there is what a proper "show off your vehicle" should be like! Cressida is not my favorite car, but this is the best video I have seen on your channel, Scotty! Be like that guy, do it right people!
Nice presentation!
The purpose of the air pump was not to simply increase volume of air rather it introduced fresh "02" (oxygen) into the hot exhaust and caused the unburned petrol to ignite and "burn-off" so the gas fumes did not go into the atmosphere. Unburned petrol fumes either from the gas tank or the exhaust is the main cause of gas engine pollution. Only 30% of the potential energy is used in the combustion chamber. The rest is waste. Modern cars with computers do a much better job of controlling the ignition and fuel burn hence, no air pump needed anymore!
He mentioned that this is electronic fuel injection which was a new feature. Modern cars do a terrible job of preventing carbon build up. How many modern cars will last 30 years?
Inline sixes ran forever- too bad we don't have cars with wider wheelbases so they'd fit transversely. Such engines are inherently balanced, which helps prevent vibrating themselves to smithereens!
Great car James, it's cool to see you're keeping it in fine shape.
James, almost everything looks good.... only one major flaw, the steering wheel is on the wrong side... 😄😄😄
You just drive wrong ;)
Jdm yo
You are just hilarious. NOT.
2:29 - actual engine bay - without plastic garbage over the engine
Full size spare tires are best.
That's they should be always
Not really. It weight too much and take too much space.
@@campkira Of course the spare should not be in a sports car, but in larger cars that are already heavy. Maybe a full size luxury car.
Love how he says the car got into a "small bingle(sp?)" Always find it interesting, the different words we use around the world
Scotty, I needed a translator to understand the fella. I did not know what Toyota model he was referring to until I read your writing and it dawned on me that I used to own one. It was a beautiful car and drove like a tank. When you put it in drive the back lowered....The engine had brand TOYODA imprinted on it...
That's interesting because they changed the family name Toyoda to Toyota in 1936 after a public vote. Reasons because it sounded nicer in Japanese, and it took 8 strokes to spell out the new name which was considered a lucky number in the culture. I never knew this until recently and it blew my mind..
My neighbor's teenager inherited a pristine low mileage Cressida from his grandparents' passing - he drove it like a teenager and the car was scrapped after 4 years from abuse and neglect. I should have made an offer to buy it when it was still in pristine shape.
Man, you can EAT off that engine!
Mine, you can grow your crop.
Funny story, My best friend's Father had a Toyota Crown growing up. And the parking enforcement could never figure out what the car was so the tickets never had the accurate model so the tickets would always get dropped. Those were the days. Lol!😊
I find this car more fascinating than any of the modern ones. I wouldn’t mind owning one myself.
Further up the food chain from Cressida was the Toyota Crown. It wasn't imported by US. That car was a very popular luxury cruiser in Asian and Middle East markets. That flagship Toyota is bulletproof in reliability. Grab one if you can find one in decent shape. You won't regret it.
My name is Cressida and I know nothing about cars. I'm glad I'm learning more and more though … I will have to say this guy did a fine job keeping his Toyota Cressida. And it makes me soooo happy to hear him say the name properly .. Cress-eee-da! lol … cheers everyone!
What a fantastic example of a Toyota Cressida, with all the mod cons still working. Reminds me of an old Datsun B310 I had years ago. Classic Japanese quality of that era. Great Video, thanks for showing us all!
My parents had a brand new Cressida also. Dad said it was one of the best cars he ever owned. By the way, same color..... Very well done review!
That Cressida is a diamond!
Super nice classic toyota
One of my favorite Show off episodes! Seems like you have/had a great relationship with your grandparents. Your Toyota is good enough to be in a museum. I wish you 10 more decades of enjoyment driving it
My dad had a 93 cressida from brand new till 2010 , it was so nice... Its still with another person with some problems but still running
Gotta love an all original survivor!
Really cool it's always been part of the family. Grandpa & Grandma's $$$ well spent!
The first car I have had in my life since childhood
اول سياره امتلكها في حياتي منذ الصغر
❤️💔❤️
You know the older I get the more and more I see the 1980's as the golden age of Automobiles.. Because they still had some of the tried and true old style designs and better quality metals used in many of the parts.. Making many systems of the old 80's vehicles seem indestructible compared to modern cars that break down quickly, as well as some modern items like fuel injection/ABS/3 point belts/modern power steering/and modern electronic ignition systems/disc brakes/and some times electric seats and windows, as well as many more that you would not get on a 50's car. A lot of the 80's cars were like the older well built cars, but with cleaner running engines and modern items still in use to this day. The only down fall of the 1980's automobiles was the power output of the engines... But in most cases they could easily keep up with traffic today, just not going to set any track records with them.
Woohoo !!
One from Sydney for a change !
G'Day Mate I'm in Sydney too.
Nice Video .
This was a really cool video this week
Dad had one of those. I remember it well. 1984 model. I blew the fuse holding down all the windows controls at the same time. Really nice car in its day. Also, from Australia.
The Cressida was such a great car!!!
Nice CLEAN Cressida, looks like it belongs in a museum :)
my late grandfather owned a toyota cressida with a 21r engine with manual transmission and it was a thing a beauty to ride around.
Always nice to see a car treated the way it deserve. Absolutely love the guy who looked after it.
Great video. Reminded me of of my ‘69 Toyota Crown (MS55 with the 2M I-6) I got from my uncle in the early 70’s. I drove and maintained it for 13 years.
Wow. A great car.
Great work bringing it back to pristine shape.
I’d sure try to find an OEM A/C system if I lived in Australia.
I love that color name.
Apricot Metallic.
I’ll bet the Toyota marketing people loved that name.
I do like it, however.
Actually, I meant the New Car Lot Salesmen rather than the Marketers.
The Marketers probably came up with that color name.
I still love it. Keep it totally original. As it is.
It’s made it 36 years without A/C...so I suspect it’ll make a few hundred thousand more miles without a problem.
Apricot Metallic. Gorgeous.
Thanks.
My asst. manager where I worked had same Cressida. I rode in it a few times, It was close to a mini-Cadillac. Purple velour interior, bulletproof engine, great ride! Her other car was a 67 Chevelle! Both cars pristine!
Damn man, he's so serious, his eyebrows are all the way up the ceiling!
Cressida were the best luxury+strong cars I've ever seen back home! They were very popular in all the Arab world! As a kid I still remember the engine sound when riding with my uncle to the beach every Friday!
Excellent review there James on the Cressida . Very nicely kept vehicle. My second vehicle was a 1985 Cressida, mx 73 if I remember correctly. It was the model before the twin cam in 1986. The best vehicle by far that I ever owned . Nice to see a fellow Aussie on the Scotty Kilmer channel.
What a sweet ride!
Great tour of the 1983 Cressida. I had to laugh to myself: back in 1983 when I was a young guy I wouldn't have given a thought about this car. Now, 36 years later, the Cressida looks like a comfortable and practical car for the "maturer" adult. I kinda do like that beigey-coppery-brownish-silvery-grayish color. On the color chart I would call it "Sporting Old Man-ish". A very fine and informative presentation!
Love it!!! Took me back to when I was a kid. My dad bought a 80/81? Cressida and then a 84 and 85. Seeing the interior bought back many childhood memories
I wish we had some of the old Toyota Century’s in America
