1958-60 Corinthian
Corinthian was a luxury brand introduced in 1958 to slot above the Capri models and was marketed independent of Coronas, despite sharing many components and being sold in Corona dealerships. The car was sold as a four door hardtop or convertible with rear-hinged doors for easy entry and egress. Priced at $6960 base, it was terribly expensive and only 1300 were sold.

In 1959 a redesigned car would be introduced, at $7250 for the hardtop and $7650 for the convertible. This car's design was longer, lower and wider, with a 320hp V8 to power it. For 1960 it remained virtually unchanged save for an improved 345 V8 and a $8120 price. Only 1080 cars were sold in 1959 and 830 in 1960, after which the marque was scrapped.
