Wave Two: Toyota’s 60th Anniversary in Canada Cross-Country Road Trip Continues

In celebration of Toyota’s 60^th anniversary in Canada, the cross-country “Kanreki” road trip continues! Wave two of the drive began in Halifax, NS and ended in Brossard, QC. The group of automotive journalists and Toyota Canada representatives were behind the wheel of the Toyota Land Cruiser, Crown Signia, Crown sedan, GR Supra, Sienna and Grand Highlander. 

Along the way, the group visited Steele Wheels museum in Halifax, where they admired several classic vehicles including a 1985 Toyota Land Cruiser, before a visit to O’Regan’s Toyota, where there was a million-kilometre 2013 Toyota Highlander on display. Following a drive by Peggy’s Cove, the group headed to Charlottetown, PEI, and later on to New Brunswick.

The first stop in New Brunswick was at the world’s largest lobster, followed by a visit to Acadia Toyota in Moncton, where there were heritage vehicles on display, in addition to a nearly million-kilometre Toyota Corolla. Once in Quebec, the group visited Lévis Toyota and Mauricie Toyota - two longstanding Toyota dealerships in the province – where they saw more heritage vehicles and learned about the history of both dealerships. Mauricie Toyota opened their doors in 1965, is still in the hands of the original family, and is the longest standing dealership in the province.
