I remember being appalled at it's cheap construction too. But then, the American cars weren't anything to brag about either.
I hadn't noticed the TK-41 until shown here, and I had seen the commercial a number of times. Nice catch!

I remember Toyota and all Japanese cars being ridiculed and hated by many when I was a little kid. Mainly because my household and most people I was around, were also in World War II veteran-headed households.
