Toyota Corolla (44 million).    2. Ford F-Series truck (35 million).    3. Volkswagen Golf (28 million).    4. Volkswagen Beetle (24 million).    5. Honda Civic (19 million).    6. Ford Escort (18 million).       To put those incredible figures in perspective, that global sales tally equates to approximately 100 Corollas being built and sold every hour over the past 50 years, or one ever 36 seconds.   Most Australians will have a story or two to tell involving a Toyota Corolla. Perhaps your parents had one while you were growing up, maybe it was your first car or the one that served faithfully on your first road trip…or first romantic encounter.   Anecdotally speaking, we know they’re bombing proof. Think what you like about Toyotas, but most will admit they’re very reliable, and the Corolla can be thanked for playing a huge part in that. It’s why you’ll see numerous decades-old Corollas still littering the classifieds sections. Drive it ’til it dies? You’ll be waiting a long time.   [ info provided by News Mail – https://www.news-mail.com.au/news/toyota-corollas-50th-birthday-our-bestseller-throu/3099204/ ] #MosselbayToyota #MBToyota #Corolla #50thBirthday
