The Toyota Cressida of Bhamshela

Bhamshela is a town with a unique story: everyone who lives there drives the same car. This film delves into the rolling, green hills of KwaZulu-Natal in an attempt to uncover the mystery of the Toyota Cressida and its connection with Bhamshela. Along the way, we meet a few charismatic Cressida owners who have esoteric opinions on what makes the car special and why it is the only car driven in Bhamshela.

This is too cool, usually some towns would buy a specific brand in numbers but a particular model😬

Great car, great story...Toyota needs a copy of this (albeit they wont ever make it the same)

[@uYahbonaEmbo]

I know a guy from bumshell he never mentioned that his village is Cressida dominated. I will ask him tomorrow does Toyota know about this phenomenon in Bumshell?
