Toyota, a Japanese automotive manufacturer known for its wide variety of luxurious cars, has its own museum ---hidden just below the United States Center of Operations in Torrance, California. It has been open to the general public for viewing since 2000, although the building didn't explicitly show any signage for it. Cars found in this museum also appear to be in pristine condition, as if the cars were brand new and fresh from the production line.

The museum is filled with classic, sports and racing cars; some cars in the collection include early Toyota Celica Models, which gave Toyota a big success. Celica was originally made for drivers who love style and fun, and considered more than just a simple means of transportation. The museum also displays first models of Camry and Corolla to ever reel from the production line.

The museum keeps some famous and important cars from Toyota's Motorsport legacy safe as well. It includes the famous Toyota 2000GT, a limited-production sports car, which revolutionized the automotive industry's view in Japan; the museum has kept three of them here. The most special of them all is the golden one; two were only produced in that color, the other was last displayed at the 14th Tokyo Motor Show in October 1967.

Toyota Museum wouldn't be possible if it wasn't for the company's automobiles' quality and value. It has received various prominent awards for quality management, some of which include the Deming Application Prize in 1965 and the Japan Quality Control Award in 1970, Business Initiative Directions reported.

Car lovers, especially those who are fans of classic Toyota automobiles, would certainly be fascinated by this collection.

Toyota Museum simply tells us how cars are more than just being in a collection; it is a living exhibition that represents Toyota's entire history in the US --- what the automobile company has achieved throughout the years.
