as a kid I remember these cars, my father bought a new 1985 model year in sand beige color - the ton of pictures we have (my mom and her love of her camera) show its the facelifted model and the gauges were more sharp looking.

Later on he bought a six cylinder version of the facelift model called the GLi-6 and he drove it across 4 countries just for fun - with all us kids in the back too.

After that he also got himself a 1987 body style - and that was a car like no other at that time.

These are more american clones but very sturdy - joke around USA is that toyota had to stop selling the cressida in the USA because the people who bought them never came back to buy a new car.

No doubt Zulfiqar bhai... the cressidas upto 1988 are worth to buy.. even here in saudia, those people who have these they are still with them.. they are heavy and tough by body.. Even my father has 1981 before that.. We exchanged that with this ride. I have to many pictures of this and previous ride, on which me and my twin sisters all are sitting on the hood and inside the car.

One more thing I want to tell you that last month I went to car market and found two American spec cressidas model 1982 and 1984, their price tags are 25000 riyals and 29000 riyals...

The 1985 model shape is totally different from 1981-1984.. 1981-82 same shape, 1983-1984 just got cosmetic changes. Same happened with 1985-1988.. just cosmetic changes in them..

I am thinking about the power of 6 cylinder engine.. it will be like a rocket.

When I went to Toyota dealer, and asked him about new Sunroof, he first asked me what are you talking about, this is not Middle east spec car, must be american spec. I told him only one thing that this car is with me from 25 years and he shocked by saying that What are saying, from 25 years with you I cannot believe it, show me your car registration paper..

Whenever I drove this car for two three days and then sit and drive again in Corolla, it feels like am sitting in Toy car.. no doubt these car more comfortable than new cars..

Thanks bro for the liking... Bro am in Saudia, even here it is very difficult to find the parts.... I went to junk yards almost daily for one week just to find steering box... ALHAMDULILLAH mine is in good nick from interior except some plastic parts which are broken due to heat and parked without shade... Exterior wise also in good condition except rust appears on edges of doors, sun roof, and trunk ... I think you can find parts easily in Karachi and Lahore.. coz I have seen many of them in these two cities... if you are in Saudia I can help you easily...

Thats nice Faheem bhai.... but one thing I feel that the 89-90 is not as much comfortable and spacious than older models...

For the first time she washed with Car shampoo... means in 25 years she was washed at service station and building guy by dish washing liquid and surf... In three Years after Death of Father, car was washed only twice or thrice, in all the time done dry dusting after accumulation of heavy layers of dust... which results in swirls and scratches ...

Procedure and Products used:

Day 1:
1. Rinsed Complete car with Water
2. Washed with Armorall Wash & Wax Shampoo - using double bucket method
3. Dried with MF
4. Applied Rubbing Compound (Xteam) panel by panel with Black & Decker Orbital Polisher using Foam Pad .. unfortunately after doing half car my foam pad got shaheed with the corner bumper.. So rest of car was done with wool pad... but the result by using foam pad is much better than using wool pad.
