I Need a 1988 Toyota Corolla Photo

Filed under: The Grey Corolla, Corolla Joy — Toyota Corolla Owner @ 10:55 am

Do you happen to have a photo of a 1988 Toyota Corolla? Ideally it would be grey/silver, but any other color would be good too.

I want to post a photo here to show what my mother’s car looked like, but the car no longer exists, unfortunately. If you’d like, I can even advertise your Corolla in a post here if you are trying to sell it.

In the meantime, I’ll start watching the streets in my area with my digital camera, waiting for the right photo opportunity.

My Mother’s Grey Corolla

The grey Corolla was my mom’s car. She bought it brand new in 1988. At the time, my dad still had a giant white Dodge from the 70s.

My mom needed the grey Corolla for two main reasons:

  • To get to work
  • To pick me up from elementary school

One car was no longer enough, because my dad’s work hours did not match up with hers, nor did they match up with my school hours. So we became the classic two-car American family.

Toyota Corolla Love

Filed under: About this Site, The Grey Corolla, The Blue Corolla, The Green Corolla — Toyota Corolla Owner @ 7:35 pm

This site is about my heartfelt love for the Toyota Corolla. I was raised in a Toyota Corolla family, and now that I’ve grown up (mostly), I have a Corolla of my own.

There were three Corollas in my life. The Grey Corolla was the one that my parents bought in 1988, which is no longer around. The Blue Corolla is the one that my parents bought in 1990, which they still own. The Green Corolla is the one that I bought in 2004, which I drive around, and which I love. It’s a 1994 model, but it feels like a brand new car.
