And other stories as we approach the Corolla’s 50th anniversary

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the world’s best-selling car—the Toyota Corolla—and for some reason Toyota felt it appropriate to begin its marketing of the Corolla’s storied past with the random acknowledgement that Hannah Simone of New Girl fame learned to drive in her father’s “pristinely kept” Corolla.
