The model named CENTURY ROYAL was supplied to the Emperor and the
royal family by Toyota Motors, and hence it can be said as the royal car
of Japan.
The bulletproof glass window, double door
for side door, enlarged window frame to clearly see the Emperor and
royal family persons are the differences from the base car. Also the
materials such as Japanese paper and woolen fabric are used in the
interior.

As both the cars are Japanese domestic special model, the existence is not much known to the foreigners.
Though the culture of customizing the Japanese takes root as the JDM (Japanese domestic market) style in the United States, the appearance of Century and President are almost never seen.
From this, these 2 cars can be sad as undeveloped car for the overseas car lovers.
