Old Toyota Celicas…they looked awesome.

70's Toyota Celicas are some of the best looking cars ever made. They are probably the best looking car to come out of the '70's. There I said it. You can love your 'Cudas, Camaros and Z's, and I understand the appeal, but the Celica, (while muuuuuuchhh slower), just looked so damn cool. 

Sure the Celica's fastback style might have been copied from the Mustang, and the head light style borrowed from the Italians, (Google Fiat Dino) but damn, they did a good job of it. And somehow they blended that mix of Italian and American into a Japanese small car's stature, which somehow made it look even more awesome. 

The 70's Celica is not as well remembered as its other Japanese cousins like the Datsun 510 or the Z, but it should be in that category. The chin spoiler that many people add to the front (such as the one in the video below) is a controversial design element, but personally I like it. Electric Federal's featured video about the Celica has the most plays out of any video they've ever put on Youtube, so I take that as a sign that I'm not the only one who thinks this car is awesome.
