One-of-a-kind Land Cruiser on display at Toyota of Concord

Toyota of Concord would like to showcase a shining example of the 1967 Toyota Land Cruiser, one of Toyota's longest-running model lines (as well as the inspiration for today's FJ Cruiser).  As if finding a classic in such pristine condition weren't special enough, this particular example happens to be from the personal collection of Country Music Superstar Alan Jackson.  It went up for auction in 2009 for $82,500.

Jackson's FJ45 Land Cruiser is an air conditioned, automatic transmission model with two-tone paint and a houndstooth interior.  It has been fortified with a 5.7-liter Chevy V8, delivering monster torque.  Credit for the masterful restoration of this Cruiser goes to TLC of Van Nuys, CA.

While this rareified Land Cruiser is not for sale, you can check it out anytime at Toyota of Concord, your best source for new and used Toyotas in North Carolina.

Introducing the 2011 Scion tc

Scion of Concord, a leading dealer in Concord, NC, proudly introduces the new 2011 Scion tC.  Succeeding the original model that helped pioneer Scion itself, the tC enters its second generation with more of everything young buyers want (style, speed, efficiency, features) and nothing they don't.

Heading the list of good news is an all-new 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine pumping out 180 horsepower and 173 pounds-feet of torque -- among the best in the sport-compact class.  Even with such newfound strength, the tC's mileage rises in tandem, reaching a frugal 31 MPG on the highway, largely thanks to new automatic and manual transmissions that pack six speeds apiece.  Rounding out the performance boost are road-hugging new 18-inch wheels and tires -- bigger and more aggressive than those found on the tC's peers.

Also this year, the lines are sharper, the interior roomier, and the feel more luxurious.  Scion's Earth-shaking stereo returns with 8 speakers, a USB hookup, and direct iPod controls.  The tC retains its versatile hatchback bodystyle and room for five adults, while new dual knee airbags (supplementing the front, side, and side-curtain airbags) and standard stability control keep them safer than ever.  As before, the 2011 Scion tC remains the sports coupe that lets a buyer style the car to his/her heart's content with endless custom accessories.

Be the first to drive home the 2011 tC!  And be sure to visit Scion of Concord for all your new Scion needs in the greater Concord area.
