Toyota USA Automobile Museum

Torrance, California

Specialized

We have moved to a new larger facility that is located adjacent to Toyota USA headquarters. We now have over 4,000 sq ft of dedicated meeting space and 33,000 sq feet of exhibit hall with over 100 vehicles including over 20 Motorsports Racing Vehicles. The new building is just south of Toyota Way on Van Ness Ave. Toyota?s rich U.S. history spans nearly half a century. To honor that journey of continued excellence, we have created a showcase of our most memorable automobiles. These vintage vehicles trace Toyota?s amazing impact on America, starting as an unknown company in 1957, to becoming one of today?s top-selling automakers. We invite you to learn more about our history and see our plans to keep America moving in the 21st century.
