Toyota is celebrating 75 years in the auto biz in a small way: It's showing off 50 one-fifth-scale models of its vehicles, normally tucked away at the Toyota HQ, to the general public for a limited time.

You'll see popular cars like the MR2 and the Supra, both of which are well-represented by the multiple generations on display. But we love the historic Toyotas too -- from Celica 1600 GTs to Coronas.

Even if you can't understand our obsession with odd Japanese cars, you can still appreciate the artistry that went into these incredible models.

You've got to visit Toyota Automobile Museum in Japan to check them out in person, but fortunately, Mike Garrett at Speedhunters was there on our behalf -- and he returned with a series of photos for our enjoyment. Check out part one and part two of his series at Speedhunters.
