The Toyopet branding of this Corona comes from the Toyopet store, an early dealership chain in Japan that sold specific Toyota models including the Corona series. With the failure of its first and second predecessors, the success of the third generation Corona was crucial for Toyota's entry in the Western automobile market. The car went on to do so through an impressive public demonstration in Japan, where the car travelled non-stop for 100,000 km in 58 days.
