Only four production cars emerged later that year. Eighteen were built in 1948. Further yearly breakouts are not available. By the time slow-going production of this model ceased in 1952, 215 had been built. The SB truck was also built from 1947 to 1952, though production figures aren't currently available. It should be noted the the first postwar passenger car built by Toyota was the large AC sedan. Fifty were built in 1947, and three in 1948. This model had been in production in 1943 and 1944 as well. Only 115 were built, altogether. There was no passenger-car production at Toyota in 1945 and 1946, but the larger trucks were built during those years.

They demande four-door cars and the whole industry switched over to accomodate that.
