The Toyota Classic (thread here) is being suggested by @Humungus so why not have the original as well?

It's the first car made and sold by Toyota, officially the car name is Toyoda (look at the logo above the car).

Sakichi Toyoda, was the founder of the car make TOYOTA Industries.
And his son Kiichiroh Toyoda founded the department of vehicles, which later became an independent company in 1937, in 1933.
In 1936 Toyoda invited suggestions for a new logo and they picked "Toyota" logo for three reasons. First, it was well-designed. Second, Toyota can be written with 8 steps in katakana, which was thought to be lucky (when Japanese people name a newborn child, they often consider how many steps it takes to write its name in kanji). Third, they hoped the company, which was a family-running company then, would become a socially recognized company.
The new logo was used since September in 1936, but AA was sold under Toyoda until 1937.
I think it is safe to call it Toyoda because it is 1936 AA.
