1957 Toyota Proto Concept Car

The 1957 Toyota Proto was a concept car introduced by the Japanese automaker Toyota. The Proto was designed to showcase the company's technological capabilities and its vision for the future of automobiles.


The Toyota Proto featured a sleek, aerodynamic design with a rounded front end and a long, sloping hood. The car had a two-tone paint job, with a white body and red accents on the wheels, grille, and roof. The overall look was futuristic and modern, with a hint of classic automotive design.


Under the hood, the Proto was powered by a 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine that produced 60 horsepower. While not particularly powerful by today's standards, this was significant for a car of this size and era.


Despite its impressive design and features, the Toyota Proto was never produced. Instead, it served as an inspiration for future Toyota models, and many of its design elements can be seen in later models such as the Toyota 2000GT and the Toyota Supra.
