1984-1985 Toyota Celica GT-S Convertible from Hemmings Motor News
Toyota had never before offered a mass-produced convertible with a fully folding roof, so the automaker teamed with Southgate, Michigan's, ASC, Inc. to create such a car using the popular Celica Coupe as a base. ASC built a $5 million, 46,000-square-foot plant in Rancho Dominguez, California, specifically to produce the new, crisp-looking Celica Convertible, which would enter production in 1984 with 200 made in 1984, near the end of the third generation's run.
Toyota reinforced the unit bodies of the Celicas that would become convertibles while they were on the assembly line in Japan, and when those cars reached the ASC plant, they underwent a 27-stage conversion process that included roof removal and the installation of new power rear quarter windows, weatherstripping, unique moldings and the electro-hydraulic power top. A special torsion bar tilted the top of the rear seats forward so the top could store in its well, while the trunk lid used complex pantographic hinges with gas struts to minimize intrusion. The top itself had a full headliner, heated glass rear window and was available in black Cambria cloth or white vinyl.
The Celica GT-S's mechanical components were not altered, so the standard 2.4-liter, 116-hp "22R-E" engine remained, along with the five-speed manual gearbox, fully independent MacPherson strut front/semi-trailing arm rear suspension and four-wheel disc brakes.
