Theme Tuesdays: Cressidas

Saw a thread on jdmrides.ca yesterday that had the following quote:

Jdm or not. I wouldn’t want something that old and ugly. Might look cool slammed on some low offset rims….

That was about all the encouragement I needed to pull together a Cressida Theme Tuesday.

I never really considered these ugly to start with though.

cressida2 — These wheels fit incredible, jealous of this fitment

This car is a beast, youtube 2jz cressida

cressida19 — Speedhunters has more than a few Cressida's throughout their back coverage

cressida20 — I don't post Boso styled cars often but this one that was previously featured on Hella Flush is pretty awesome

cressida9 — Grabbed this one from The Scraped Crusaders

cressida17 — This painted all black would be even more perfect

cressida16 — So much for old and ugly...

cressida11 — Personally I would like to see this without the fender mirrors but I won't hold that against it

cressida4 — However this one with fender mirrors I like...

cressida10 — I think I need to find more info on this one

cressida8 — Serial Nine's Cressida came up a lot in searches

cressida6 — Simple dished 5 spoke wheels work on most cars

cressida1 — and finally posted in the thread that inspired this post

Cressida wagons next week?

The Cressida on white BBS is not from the Scrape Crusaders, it’s from BP VIP! Papa Bear Approved!

I have no idea what you guys see in these cars. Its like polishing a turd, it might end up shiny but it is still a piece of shit.

I briefly considered buying one a few years ago, but it was pretty clapped out. Fender mirrors were how Japanese cars came back then. Oliver said it best, and it goes for most Toyotas: boring as hell when they were new, more interesting as they age.
