The Toyota Celica is a sports car produced by Toyota from 1970 to 2006. The first generation Celica, internally designated the A20, was designed by Masao Fujita under Tatsuo Hasegawa and introduced at the 1970 Tokyo Motor Show; it was intended to emphasize driving enjoyment. Initially only available as a pillarless hardtop coupe adopting coke bottle styling, the car was aimed at the North American market and was in effect Toyota's response to the Ford Mustang. A liftback was introduced in 1973, while the car was facelifted in 1972, 1974 and 1976; production ended in July 1977 to be replaced by the next generation of Celica.
