What was the model name of Toyota's first production car from 1936?

Toyota’s first production car from 1936 was the Toyota AA.

The AA was a four-door sedan developed from Toyota’s A1 prototypes, which had been completed in 1935. It represented the company’s first step into passenger-car production after Kiichiro Toyoda’s earlier work on engines and trucks. The closely related AB, a convertible, entered production at the same time, but the AA was the sedan and the principal answer to this question.

The car used a six-cylinder Type A engine and a three-speed manual transmission. Its streamlined body was strongly influenced by the Chrysler-built DeSoto Airflow, reflecting the aerodynamic styling fashionable in the 1930s. Unlike older fabric-over-wood construction, the AA used a metal body mounted on a metal ladder chassis.

Toyota produced 1,404 AA sedans from 1936 to 1943. The model was followed by the AC sedan, which explains a common mix-up among the answer choices. The SA was a later postwar Toyota passenger car, while the AB was the AA’s convertible counterpart—not the name of the first production sedan.
