📜 HISTORICAL NOTES
The Toyota Land Cruiser originated from post-WWII necessity. In the early 1950s, the Korean War created demand for military vehicles in Asia, and Toyota began building a Jeep-like vehicle under contract for the U.S. military. After threats of litigation from Willys, Toyota developed its own design, and by 1954, technical director Hanji Umehara named it "Land Cruiser" to compete with Land Rover while maintaining dignity.

The FJ20 series arrived in the mid-1950s, followed by the legendary FJ40 in 1960. The 40 Series would go on to be produced for nearly 25 years, becoming Toyota's longest-running model line and cementing its reputation for bulletproof reliability.

Early models like the FJ25 (produced 1955-1960) featured the F135 3.9-liter inline-six engine and are now incredibly rare — only 30 Kestrels estimated to survive. The 1960 model year marked the transition from FJ25 to FJ40 production.

One fascinating quirk: post-war Japanese steel quality was inconsistent due to industrial rebuilding priorities, making these early Cruisers more prone to rust than later models — which explains why survivors are so cherished.

Today, restored examples command anywhere from $36,000 (reserve not met) to over $84,000 for concours-quality builds.
